NAME

ergo - Ruby rules-based automated build tool

SYNOPSIS

ergo ergo bookmark [arg...]
ergo -R|--rules
ergo -h|--help

DESCRIPTION

Ergo is an autological build tool, in that it is used to automate build procedure via logical rules-based programming. The developer only ever needs to run a single command, ergo, and the majority of maintenance details of a project are handled. Ergo largely replaces the need of more traditional task-based build tools, but it does not complete supplant them. They reamin a useful complement for one-off manual build procedures.

OPTIONS

These options act as subcommands:

-R, --rules

Display the described rules defined in the project's ergo script(s).

-h, --help

Display this help message.

ISSUES

Ergo depends on Ronn to provide this man-page and command help message. Ronn depends on hpricot and rdiscount, extension libraries that are non-trivial to install on some systems. A more portable version of this program would be welcome.
