mkrs 0.2.0

Build automation tool
# About

Build automation tool

* Inspired by [make]
* No automatic targets[^one]
* Minimalist functionality; maximalist readability
* Configuration is a simple Markdown file named [`Makefile.md`]
* Output is colorized Markdown
* Processes the target(s) specified or if none, processes the first target
* Commands are run via `sh` shell
* If any command fails (exits with a non-zero code), processing halts
  immediately

[make]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Make_(software)
[`Makefile.md`]: Makefile.md

# Syntax

* A Level 1 heading begins the definition of a **target**.
* A plain text target name is a "phony" target and will *always run*.[^two]
* A code span target name is a file target and will only run if any dependency
  file target's modification time is newer than the target.[^two]
* An unordered list contains the target's dependencies.
* A code block contains the commands that are run when the target is processed.
* Commands may use the following variables:
    * `{0}`: first dependency
    * `{target}`: target name

*See [`Makefile.md`] for an example.*

---

[^one]: Unlike [make], mkrs does not have any built-in knowledge about how to
*compile* any sort of file; all such commands must be defined in the
configuration file.

[^two]: A target of either sort is only processed if it is a dependency of the
target(s) that are being processed.
