Chase is command runner and potentially a (forward) build system. Chase primarily reads build specifications from a chasefile placed in your outer directory consisting of one or more tasks/chases.

Chase uses fsatrace for cross-platform file access tracing. We also support an experimental flag that attmepts tracing with ebpf on Linux and Windows.

# Clone with submodules
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/dibrinsofor/chase
cd chase

# Build fsatrace (required for tracing)
cd fsatrace && make && cd ..

# Build chase
go build .

Platform Notes:

Experimental eBPF (Linux only):

# Build with eBPF support for more detailed subprocess tracing
go build -tags experimental_ebpf .

see sample chasefile

chase -l
  build    summary: "build main"
  tests    summary: "run all tests"
  hello    --

chase #runs the build task
chase tests # runs only the test dash

chase expects the custom shell declaration at the top of the file. if it does not exist, commands will be run with any reasonable sh (Git bash if on windows)
