exact-maid-0.2.1 is not a library.
Maid is a task runner / build tool that aims to be simpler and easier to use than, for example, GNU Make.
Tasks are stored in a file called maidfile
using the TOML syntax.
Quick Start
See the installation section for how to install just on your computer. Try running maid --version to make sure that it's installed correctly.
Once maid is installed and working, create a file named maidfile in the root of your project with the following contents:
[]
= ""
= "this is a comment"
= "echo 'hello world'"
Running maid with no arguments shows a list of tasks in the maidfile:
> hello:
