REDO-TARGETS(1)

💅 REDO-TARGETS(1) — like, the manual page, bestie

okay so this is the page for redo-targets, a General Commands Manual situation — yes it's a whole real tool and yes it's iconic ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

redo-targets — prints the list of redo(1) targets 🎯

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

redo-targets

that's it. no flags. no args. she just works 💅

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so quick lore drop: redo(1) is this tool for building files and for rebuilding them whenever any of their dependencies have changed. main character build system energy, we love to see it 🫶

redo-targets prints the list of redo(1) targets that live in the current directory and its subdirectories — but only the ones that exist. like, files that would be rebuilt if you handed them to redo-ifchange(1) as an argument. that's the whole vibe check 🔥

and why do files that don't exist get left off the list? because they might not be targets anymore, lowkey. case in point 👇

if you build a file, then later remove it and change the build so it no longer generates it, it will not be listed. gone. not invited to the party anymore 💀
