Welcome to recp

recp (short for recipe) is a tool designed to automate processes that involve executing multiple sequential command-line steps. A recipe is defined in a .yaml file, which outlines the steps to be performed. Each step can include a tags, description, a set of environment variables to be set for that step, and one or more commands to be executed. Additionally, commands can be preprocessed, allowing a single instruction to be expanded into multiple commands, thereby eliminating the need for tedious repeated and error-prone manual steps or scripts lacking flexibility.

A single recipe .yaml file can define multiple steps, which can be selected or filtered based on the task at hand. This flexibility allows you to execute only a subset of a larger recipe when needed. The --dry-run option enables generating the commands without actually running them, allowing you to verify that everything works as expected before executing time-consuming processes.
