Bake is a task execution tool, inspired by Rake, but codifying many of the use cases which are typically implemented in an ad-hoc manner.

Rake is an awesome tool and loved by the community. So, why reinvent it? Bake provides the following features that Rake does not:

• On demand loading of files following a standard convention. This avoid loading all your rake tasks just to execute a single command.
• Better argument handling including support for positional and optional arguments.
• Focused on task execution not dependency resolution. Implementation is simpler and a bit more predictable.
• Canonical structure for integration with gems.

That being said, Rake and Bake can exist side by side in the same project.

Please see the project documentation for more details.

• Getting Started - This guide gives a general overview of bake and how to use it.

• Command Line Interface - The bake command is broken up into two main functions: list and call.

• Project Integration - This guide explains how to add bake to a Ruby project.

• Gem Integration - This guide explains how to add bake to a Ruby gem and export standardised tasks for use by other gems and projects.

• Input and Output - bake has built in tasks for reading input and writing output in different formats. While this can be useful for general processing, there are some limitations, notably that rich object representations like json and yaml often don't support stream processing.

Please see the project releases for all releases.

• Add support for ndjson.
• General improvements to input and output handling.
• Removed support for pp output - use raw if required.
