Scripts to Rule Them All
Jun 30, 2015Jon Maddox
Summary
This post introduces the 'Scripts to Rule Them All' pattern, standardizing script names across GitHub projects for common development tasks such as bootstrapping, testing, and running applications. It defines specific script names like `script/bootstrap`, `script/setup`, `script/update`, `script/server`, `script/test`, `script/cibuild`, and `script/console`. The pattern emphasizes composability, language agnosticism, and reducing contributor friction by abstracting away project-specific implementation details.
