Truct

Truct¹ is a pretty minimal workflow runner, allowing you to store your tasks inside one single Truct file (generally stored as truct.yaml) which is a YAML² file, this way it will be readable for humans! Compared to other systems like Make³, Truct aims to be simple and beginner-friendly for small projects.

Installation (Manual)

You can install Truct manually through the Releases section. Currently there are builds only for *Nix operating systems (Linux⁴, OpenBSD⁵, macOS⁶ etc) and Windows⁷.

Installation (Automatic for Linux/Unix systems)

bash <(curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/neotesk/truct/main/docs/install.sh)

Installation (Automatic for Termux)

bash <(curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/neotesk/truct/main/docs/termux-install.sh)

Usage

You can start with the help command like so:

truct help

After writing your workflow file, you can run workflows with this command:

truct do

Why does this exist?

This exists because I like making small projects that will make my job easier and I don't want to adapt to many many other systems on the current market, so I like to combine my favorite parts of these systems into one single unit, thus many of my projects have born into existence. Truct is one of them since I only needed a simple workflow runner that does basic work and nothing else. For more information, please visit the Truct wiki
