Software development requires housekeeping activities like installing dependencies, running compilers, linters, automated tests, formatters, etc. If you work on a larger number of code bases, remembering how to use a variety of developer tools to run a variety of custom scripts and activities can get tedious. Atalanta – named after the Greek godess of running – knows a wide range of software stacks and runs these housekeeping activities for you.
Currently supported stacks:
Install Rust via RustUp. Then install Atalanta:
cargo install https://github.com/kevgo/atalanta
This installs a binary called a into the ~/.cargo/bin folder. Please add it
to your $PATH.
To set up the auto-completions for Fish shell, add this
to ~/.config/fish/config.fish:
if test -f ~/.cargo/bin/a
~/.cargo/bin/a --print-fish-completions | source
end
Use Atalanta inside a directory containing code. Running it without any parameters shows all recognized software stacks and available tasks for them:
a
Use the --setup or -s command to install dependencies for your codebase:
a -s
If your codebase contains a file package.json that defines a test script,
you no longer have to run npm run test but can do this now:
a test
You can abbreviate task names as long as they uniquely match a task. To run the test script again:
