Z

Introduction

Z is a metaprogramming system, especially useful for dependency-based build and deploy management. It was originally designed for PHP-based projects.

It utilizes a simple declarative DSL, based on YML, to define tasks and configuration. The configuration can be used (and validated) by plugins, that provide their own set of tasks and / or language extensions.

But, all that put aside, Z is mainly a very convenient way to organize any set of commands you'd typically run in a shell.
