Task, Just or plain bash - Alternatives to Makefiles

Explore Three alternatives to using Makefiles.
Can these be used to describe some of the CI/CD steps that are usually encoded in jenkinsfiles? This would make it possible to test (some of) the steps locally instead of having to push and wait for a Jenkins pipeline to run. I.e. faster feedback loop.

"Task" is a task runner / build tool that aims to be simpler and easier to use than, for example, GNU Make.

"just" is a handy way to save and run project-specific commands.
"just" is a command runner, not a build system, so it avoids much of make's complexity and idiosyncrasies. No need for .PHONY recipes!

https://github.com/adriancooney/Taskfile
This repo uses plain Bash to implement a very simple task runner. Could this be enough, if you don’t need a full build system?

Maybe https://github.com/erichs/composure also falls in this area. I have looked at it before, and installed it years ago, but never gotten around to really giving it a chance.
