Bake is a task execution tool, inspired by Rake, but codifying many of the use cases which are typically implemented in an ad-hoc manner.

Features

Rake is an awesome tool and loved by the community. So, why reinvent it? Bake provides the following features that Rake does not:

• On demand loading of files following a standard convention. This avoid loading all your rake tasks just to execute a single command.
• Better argument handling including support for positional and optional arguments.
• Focused on task execution not dependency resolution. Implementation is simpler and a bit more predictable.
• Canonical structure for integration with gems.

That being said, Rake and Bake can exist side by side in the same project.

Usage

Please see the project documentation.
