Features

Key features of dobi:

  • optimal - tasks are only run when the resource is stale. If a resource hasn't changed the task is skipped.
  • portable - all tasks run in a container, so developers are free to use different operating systems and environments.
  • repeatable - tasks are defined in a dobi.yaml so new contributers can get started quickly, and a task will always produce the same results. Variables are supported, but must be explicitly defined, so there's no hidden environment variables that could change the behaviour of a task.
  • organized - tasks can be chained together using an alias resource to produce entire workflows like test or release, which may involve multiple independent tasks.
  • dependencies - tasks can depend on other tasks using depends. When a task is run, its dependencies are checked first, and run if they are stale.
