Tomek's Ada, too obvious. An opinionated package  management tool for Ada.\n\nTada handles building, testing, and running Ada packages. It wraps GPRbuild\nwith sensible defaults and a simple package manifest (`tada.toml`), so you\nspend less time writing build scripts and more time writing Ada.\n\n## Rationale\n\nTada is a project for personal use. I know [Alire](https://alire.ada.dev/) exists, is more feature rich and has hundreds of packages.\nAnd that's fine. Tada is something I always wanted to build. I write Ada for fun and decided to build many projects in it to understand\nhow the foundational pieces work under the hood. I plan to release more projects in Ada in the near future, and I want to create my own\nlittle programming world around the language. I hope someone finds it useful.\n\n## Status\n\nThis is alpha software. I'm actively working it. YMMV.\n\nTested on Linux x86_64, MacOS ARM, OpenBSD x86_64 and Windows x86_64.\n\nNote on OpenBSD: you have to:\n\n* install `gcc` / `gnat` \u003e 15.2.0 from ports\n\n* install `gprbuild` manually\n\n* symlink `gcc` to `egcc`:\n\n``` shell\n# as root\nln -s /usr/local/bin/egcc /usr/local/bin/gcc\n```\n\n## Prerequisites\n\n* curl\n* gnat\n* gprbuild\n\nBy default, `tada` looks for `gnat` and `gprbuild` on the system `PATH`. You can set up local and global toolchain paths.\n\n* local: `.tada/config.toml` (should be in `.gitignore`)\n* global: `~/.config/tada/config.toml` (`%LOCALAPPDATA%\\tada\\config.toml` on Windows)\n\nThe discovery order is: `local` -\u003e `global` -\u003e `PATH`.\n\nExample `config.toml`:\n\n``` toml\n[toolchain]\ngnat_root = \"~/.local/share/alire/toolchains/gnat_native_15.2.1_4640d4b3\"\ngprbuild_root = \"~/.local/share/alire/toolchains/gprbuild_25.0.1_9a2e6cfb\"\n```\n\n## Installation\n\nSee [Releases](https://github.com/tomekw/tada/releases).\n\n```bash\ncurl -L https://github.com/tomekw/tada/releases/download/VERSION/tada-VERSION-PLATFORM -o tada \u0026\u0026 chmod +x tada\n```\n\nCopy it somewhere on your `PATH`:\n\n```bash\ncp tada ~/.local/bin/\n```\n\nOnce installed, Tada can build itself:\n\n```bash\ntada build --profile release\n```\n\n## Usage\n\n```bash\nUsage: tada [command] [options]\n\nCommands:\n    build [--profile \u003cp\u003e]               Compile the package\n    cache [--force]                     Install package to the local cache, use --force to overwrite\n    clean                               Remove build artifacts\n    config                              Display configuration\n    help                                Show this message\n    init \u003cname\u003e [--exe|--lib]           Create a new package\n    install                             Install dependencies\n    run [--profile \u003cp\u003e] [-- \u003cargs\u003e...]  Build and run the executable\n    test [--profile \u003cp\u003e]                Build and run the tests\n    version                             Display version\n```\n\n1. Create a new package with `tada init`, either a binary with `--exe` or a library with `--lib`.\n1. Run `tada install` to install dependencies.\n1. Build with `tada build`. Profile is either `--debug` or `--release`. `--debug` is the default.\n1. Run with `tada run`. `--` separates arguments passed to the target binary.\n1. Test with `tada test`.\n1. Remove `target/` with `tada clean`.\n\nTo add a new dependency:\n\n1. Add the dependency to your `tada.toml`, e.g. `bar = \"0.5.2\"` under `[dependencies]` or `[dev-dependencies]`.\n1. Run `tada install`.\n1. Use `with` to import the dependency's units in your Ada code. Build, test, and run as usual.\n\nUse `tada cache` to install the current package into the local cache for use as a dependency.\n\nTada lets you own generated GPR files. `PROJECT_config.gpr` exposes three variables you can use:\n\n* `Build_Profile` - `debug`, `release`\n* `Tada_OS` - `freebsd`, `linux`, `macos`, `openbsd` `windows`, `unknown`\n* `Tada_Arch` - `aarch64`, `x86_64`, `unknown`\n\n## Manifest file\n\n```toml\n[package]\nname = \"foo\"\nversion = \"0.1.0\"\n\n[dependencies]\nbar = \"0.5.2\"\nbaz = \"1.2.1\"\n\n[dev-dependencies]\ntesty = \"0.1.0\"\n```\n\n## Package naming rules\n\n* can't be empty\n* is all lower-case\n* letters, numbers and underscores only\n* can't be Ada's reserved word\n* can't start with a number or underscore\n* can't end with an underscore\n* can't have two consecutive underscores\n\n## Package versioning rules\n\n* [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/): `MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH`\n* optional prerelease tag, example: `0.1.0-dev`\n\n## Testing\n\nTada's own test suite uses [Testy](https://github.com/tomekw/testy):\n\n```bash\ntada test\n```\n\n## Packages\n\nSee the [Packages Index](https://github.com/tadapm/tada-packages).\n  \nIf there's something you have built with Tada, and would like to have it included in the index, let me know!\n\n## Disclaimer\n\nThis codebase is written by hand.
