Hey! So this tool is something that I've wanted to build for a while now and it was a good opportunity to improve my Rust skills. It's inspired by a few other tools such as just [1] and maid [2]. The readme's faq section has some more background on why I wanted to build this.
To summarize mask, it's a cli tool that looks for a maskfile.md in the current directory and parses it for commands. A maskfile.md is both a human-readable document and a simple command definition format. Tasks can be defined in sh, bash, zsh, fish, js, python, php, and ruby.
Though it's not at v1.0 yet, I've been using it daily in personal projects and also as a global system utility for handy commands and automation tasks.
