Mknew project explores constructing Unix shell scripts for managing development and administrative activities in a simple manner.
Mknew script commonly uses a syntactical pattern of a verb, followed by a noun or a function followed by arguments. This ensures that the shell script can be written as a series of functions and is easy to understand. The software is designed to manage heterogeneous components, including diverse source code languages, documentation texts, test procedures, and data.
Mknew supports the integration of software build procedures with other software development administration procedures, including unit, integration, and system testing; distribution; and installation.
The software library relies solely on tools provided by the bash shell and common Unix command line utilities, making it lightweight and easy to integrate into existing workflows. The latest release introduces new capabilities and further explorations of bash functions. One of these new capabilities is creating a file that specifies the primary source file types, allowing easy deployment of files to arbitrary destinations. By typing "mk all" at the shell prompt, file deployment is quick and easy.
Overall, Mknew is an excellent tool for anyone looking to streamline their development and administrative tasks. Its reliance on simple tools and focus on functional programming make it easy to understand and use for all skill levels.
