Rake
Rake is a Make-like program implemented in Ruby
- Snippet from Wikipedia: Rake (software)
Rake is a software task management and a build automation tool created by Jim Weirich. It allows the user to specify tasks and to describe dependencies as well as to group tasks in a namespace. It is similar to SCons and Make. It and the Rakefiles it uses are written in Ruby. Rake has been part of the standard library of Ruby since version 1.9.
Like Make, Rake can synthesize tasks based on patterns: for example, automatically building a file compilation task based on filename patterns.
