- Add a shebang to invoke your
Justfile - Make your
Justfileexecutable (withchmod +x) - Add a default target that invokes
just --list. It should be the first one. The underscore makes it private, effectively hiding it from the list output.
The diff above is for the Justfile used for this blog. The above change
yields:
shell
% ./Justfile
Available recipes:
build # Build the blog as in production
clean # Delete hugo build artifacts
new post # Create a new post. Usage: `just new "advent of code day 8"`
ping sitemap="https://perrotta.dev/sitemap.xml" # Ping Google and Bing about changes in the sitemap
update # Update git submodules
watch # Start a hugo server in watch modeRealistically though I’d rather invoke the just binary directly most of the
time.
