A Simple Example

Note

The doitoml GitHub repository has many examples of different configurations, including the project's own pyproject.toml and package.json.

The full documentation includes more information about building concise, declarative, reproducible tasks for your project.

The simplest way to use doitoml needs only a pyproject.toml, which doit will already check for configuration data.

# pyproject.toml
[project.optional-dependencies]
dev = ["doitoml"]

[tool.doit]
loader = "doitoml"
verbosity = 2

[tool.doitoml.tasks.hello]
actions = ['echo "Hello World!"']

After installing the dev extra dependency...

pip install -e .[dev]

... and running ...

doit

... you would see ...

.  hello:
Hello World!
