winget install --id=Magefile.mage -e You write plain-old go functions, and Mage automatically uses them as Makefile-like runnable targets.
Mage is a build tool designed to simplify project automation by turning Go functions into executable targets. Instead of writing Makefiles or Rake tasks, you define your build steps as regular Go functions, making your build process more intuitive and consistent with your existing codebase.
Key Features:
- Go-Based Targets: Write build steps using plain Go functions instead of Makefile syntax.
- Cross-Platform Compatibility: Runs seamlessly on Windows, macOS, and Linux, eliminating the need for platform-specific workarounds.
- Integration with Go Projects: Works naturally within existing Go projects without introducing new dependencies or languages.
- No External Dependencies: Only relies on Go's standard library, ensuring easy installation and operation.
Audience & Benefit: Ideal for developers working on Go projects who want a more intuitive approach to build automation. Mage allows you to leverage your existing Go skills to create maintainable build processes without the overhead of learning new syntax or tools.
Installation can be handled via winget, making it straightforward to set up on supported systems.
