C/C++/C# has a way to compile their source code with the help of Makefiles, but how about Go? Sure, it’s minimalistic, you can just do go build and you’re done, but if you want to fine-tune something that one-liner turns into a Bratwurst 🌭

I’ve asked around on the #go-lang:matrix.org room which alternatives exist and got 2 tools so far.

Task #

Task is a task runner / build tool that aims to be simpler and easier to use than, for example, GNU Make.

Mage #

Mage is a make/rake-like build tool using Go. You write plain-old go functions, and Mage automatically uses them as Makefile-like runnable targets.
