A simple tool for rebuilding local source code.

The grammar for the config can be defined as:

# <full path to source code directory>
<build instruction 1>
<build instruction 2>
<...>
<build instruction N>

# <next path>
<...>
<EOF>

# /usr/local/src/neovim
git pull
make CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo
cd build
cpack -G DEB
sudo dpkg -i nvim-linux64.deb

# /usr/local/src/xfce4-docklike-plugin
git pull
make
sudo make install

• Simple parser that allows for copying pasting build instructions.
• Specify a build list using CLI arguments.
• Ask to continue if a build fails.
• Having a default config file in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME.
• Automatic git pull (don't build when no changes are pulled).
• Being able to set variables in config, ie:
  • The branch to pull from.
  • Default make flags.
• Setting branch for source code pull, being able to set variables in general.

• Being a ports clone.
• Being production worthy software.
