# Bake

A simple make-like task runner that uses standard bash syntax. Bake organizes

tasks similary to make, but uses regular bash for variables, if statement, and

other constructs.

## Features

- Standard bash syntax. Why spawn shells on every line of code and add

  complicated variables when you can just write bash?

- Tasks can have prerequisites, as in make.

- Portable source code, written in bash.

- I am considering adding zsh support in the future.

- Useful features borrowed from rake:

  - List tasks in a Bakefile.

  - Intelligently search for Bakefiles in parent directories when running bake.

## Syntax

```

MESSAGE="Hello, world!"

speak:

  echo $MESSAGE

  echo "It is now `date`"

```
