It's neither [Jake](http://jakejs.com/) nor [Runfile](https://github.com/runfile/runfile), it's just Makefile and JavaScript.

## Installation

```bash
npm install -g node-make
```

## Example

**makefile.js**

```javascript
// built-in Promisify node core api
// you can use 'mz' without installation
import fs from 'mz/fs'

log:
  log('hi')
  log('feel weird?')
  for (let i of [1, 2, 3]) {
    console.log(i)
  }

// async/await
md@async:
  const data = await fs.readFile('hello.md', 'utf8')
  console.log(data)

// shell commands
publish:
  exec('npm run build')
  exec('npm test')
  exec('npm publish')  

// emit a task in a task
emit:
  // callback is optional
  emit('log', callback)

// single-line exec() commands short-hand
try:
  // `argv` is global variable for accessing user input from cli
  const message = argv.m || new Date()
  > git add -A
  > git commit -m "${message}"
  > git push origin master

// multi-line exec() commands short-hand
source:
  >>>
  export PATH='$PATH:~/go'
  echo $PATH
  <<<

log:
  // native color support
  > echo ${'I love you'.red}
```

**command line**

```bash
mk [taskName]
```
