August

August is a build system much like others of the task-based genre. It uses a custom syntax for configuring builds and can import other files for the purpose of modularity.

Installation

The recommended installation method is via Cargo:

cargo install august-build

To install from source, clone the repo, run the following command and copy out the binary:

cargo build --release

Documentation

August's user documentation can be found at https://august-build.web.app. Internal docs can be found on docs.rs though everything is mostly undocumented.

Brilliant Crates

August is only made possible thanks to the efforts of many others. Here they all are:

• ariadne: Beautiful parser error handling by @zesterer
• clap: Derive-based command-line argument parser
• clap_complete: Generator for command line autocompletions, see august completions
• comfy-table: Beautiful table generation for august info and august inspect by @Nukesor
• dirs: Used exclusively for finding the home directory
• owo-colors: Vibrant colouring for displaying CLI execution by @jam1garner
• run-script: Used so I don't have to think about argument separation in the exec command by @sagiegurari
• walkdir: Directory recursion for module resolution by @BurntSushi
• tracing and tracing-subscriber: Nice app-level diagnostics by the @tokio-rs team

If you use August in your project, you can add this badge to your README:
