a task orchestration and composition framework

Overview

Targets takes the concept of function composition and surfaces it to the command-line. It enables you, the author of the next great CLI tool, to take many small single-purpose functions and to safely compose them into complex but reliable workflows using a succint declarative syntax.

Use Targets to build common tooling for your team/users and to reduce complex workflows into reliable tasks and which are simple to operate on.

TODO list for alpha branch - complete before landing

• [x] sota based workflow orchestration
• [x] pdn support for target data loader
• [x] dry run support
• [ ] strengthen streaming output support - some commands are running silently!
• [ ] refine reported and output modes
• [ ] recursive submachine support - non-trivial but doable
• [ ] many many more unit tests
• [ ] pdn support for config (via answers)
• [ ] update all targets documentation
• [ ] remove sugarmerge from answers? fork? optional merge fn? seems orthogonal now... adds undue complexity
• [ ] bake-in dottle support? at least kill remaining dottle bugs - parallel branch issue is show stopper.
• [ ] resolve fn targets at compile time?
• [ ] allow shellspec to support "other" choice override
• [ ] new logo! re-brand opportunity
