little help.\n\n# alfred\n\nA simple go/yaml powered make file/task runner with a bit of a twist and a ton of flexibility.\n\n## Features\n\n- Extendable + Plugins\n- Watch files for modifications\n- Retry/Rerun tasks based on failures before giving up\n- Logging\n- Success/Failure decision tree\n- Run tasks asynchronously or synchronously\n- Arguments\n- Loops\n- Static webserver\n- Many more!\n\nFor more information [RTFM](TFM.md \"additional documentation\").\n\n## Sample Usage\n\nCreate a file named: `alfred.yml`\n\n```yaml\nsay.hello:\n    summary: I will say hello!\n    usage: alfred say.hello\n    command: echo \"Hello!\"\n\nsay.howareyou:\n    summary: I will ask how you are\n    usage: alfred say.howareyou\n    command: |\n        echo \"How\"\n        echo \"Are\"\n        echo \"You?\"\n\nspeak:\n    tasks: say.hello say.howareyou\n\nblurt:\n    multitask: say.hello say.howareyou\n```\n\nThen, anywhere in the top-level or child directories to the `alfred.yml` file:\n\n`alfred` Will show you all of the available tasks and a quick summary.\n\n`alfred say.hello` Will simply say hello\n\n`alfred say.howareyou` Will ask how you are\n\n`alfred speak` will perform both tasks in the specified order\n\n`alfred blurt` will perform both tasks at the same time\n\n## Screencast/Demo\n\n[![asciicast](assets/demo.png)](https://asciinema.org/a/103711)\n\n## Example uses\n\n- Monitor websites\n- Setup/Update/Deploy projects in your dev env\n- Simple Nagios, Jenkins, pingdom replacement\n- Monitor crons(alert on failures, update endpoints etc ... )\n-
