Don — A YAML and Make inspired build tool

Example Don:

assets:
  - rollup
  - node-sass -r
    src/css 
    --output assets/css

# This comment about lint
lint:
  - eslint

done:
  - echo "Finished"

all:
  - $lint
  - $assets $done

Some things to keep in mind:

• A target's command must be indented with at least 2 spaces
• A multi-line command's following lines must be indented at least 2 spaces after the indentation of the command's first line (as seen by assets second command)
• You can't have circular target dependencies
• You can't reference undefined targets as dependencies
• You can't mix dependencies and normal commands on a line

CLI Usage

node don.js file
