Quick Start
Install:
pip install makex
Define a Makex file (name it Makexfile):
task(
name="hello-world",
steps=[
write("hello-world.txt", "Hello World!"),
# or, you can use the shell, but it's not recommended:
# shell(f"echo 'Hello World!' > {path('hello-world')}/hello-world.txt"),
],
outputs=[
"hello-world.txt",
],
)
Run makex and the target:
makex run :hello-world
Use the path command to show getting an output path.
A file at _output_/hello-world/hello-world.txt will have the following contents:
Hello World!
