Tasks and dependencies are\nspecified in standard Ruby syntax.\n\nRake has the following features:\n\n* Rakefiles (rake's version of Makefiles) are completely defined in\n  standard Ruby syntax.  No XML files to edit.  No quirky Makefile\n  syntax to worry about (is that a tab or a space?)\n\n* Users can specify tasks with prerequisites.\n\n* Rake supports rule patterns to synthesize implicit tasks.\n\n* Flexible FileLists that act like arrays but know about manipulating\n  file names and paths.\n\n* A library of prepackaged tasks to make building rakefiles easier. For example,\n  tasks for building tarballs. (Formerly\n  tasks for building RDoc, Gems, and publishing to FTP were included in rake but they're now\n  available in RDoc, RubyGems, and rake-contrib respectively.)\n\n* Supports parallel execution of tasks.\n\n== Installation\n\n=== Gem Installation\n\nDownload and install rake with the following.\n\n  gem install rake\n\n== Usage\n\n=== Simple Example\n\nFirst, you must write a \"Rakefile\" file which contains the build rules. Here's\na simple example:\n\n  task default: %w[test]\n\n  task :test do\n    ruby \"test/unittest.rb\"\n  end\n\nThis Rakefile has two tasks:\n\n* A task named \"test\", which -- upon invocation -- will run a unit test file\n  in Ruby.\n* A task named \"default\". This task does nothing by itself, but it has exactly\n  one dependency, namely the \"test\" task. Invoking the \"default\" task will\n  cause Rake to invoke the \"test\" task as well.\n\nRunning the \"rake\" command without any options will cause it to run the\n\"default\" task in the Rakefile:\n\n  % ls\n  Rakefile     test/\n  % rake\n  (in /home/some_user/Projects/rake)\n  ruby test/unittest.rb\n  ....unit test output here...\n\nType \"rake --help\" for all available options.\n\n== Resources\n\n=== Rake Information\n\n* {Rake command-line}[link:doc/command_line_usage.rdoc]\n* {Writing Rakefiles}[link:doc/rakefile.rdoc]\n* The original {Rake announcement}[link:doc/rational.rdoc]\n* Rake {glossary}[link:doc/glossary.rdoc]\n\n=== Presentations and Articles about Rake\n\n* Avdi Grimm's rake series:\n  1. {Rake Basics}[https://avdi.codes/rake-part-1-basics/]\n  2. {Rake File Lists}[https://avdi.codes/rake-part-2-file-lists-2/]\n  3. {Rake Rules}[https://avdi.codes/rake-part-3-rules/]\n  4. {Rake Pathmap}[https://avdi.codes/rake-part-4-pathmap/]\n  5. {File Operations}[https://avdi.codes/rake-part-5-file-operations/]\n  6. {Clean and Clobber}[https://avdi.codes/rake-part-6-clean-and-clobber/]\n  7. {MultiTask}[https://avdi.codes/rake-part-7-multitask/]\n* {Jim Weirich's 2003 RubyConf presentation}[https://web.archive.org/web/20140221123354/http://onestepback.org/articles/buildingwithrake/]\n* Martin Fowler's article on Rake: https://martinfowler.com/articles/rake.html\n\n== Other Make Re-envisionings ...\n\nRake is a late entry in the make replacement field.
