CLI for building, runing, testing, and managing your Emacs Lisp dependencies
Eask was built to use as a package development tool in your Elisp packages. But now, Eask supports various types of Emacs Lisp tasks. It can be used in three major ways:
- Dev tool for Elisp packages
- Dependency management for your configuration
- Run elisp programs for all other purposes
So what are the major differences between Eask and other build tools like [Cask][], [makem.sh][], and [Eldev][], other than the things above?
Good question! Eask is more than a build tool now, it can be used for various purposes! But here are Eask aims to be:
- Consistent enough to sandbox across all systems
- General enough to have Emacsers frequently used commands (
byte-compile,checkdoc, etc) - Robust enough to provide useful results even in the presence of user errors
- Dependency-free so that the tool can be run on any platform
P.S. See [Why Eask?](https://emacs-eask.github.io/Getting-Started/Introduction/#-why-eask) for more detailed information.
