cargo-make is a Rust task runner and build tool that lets developers define and run task flows via TOML-based Makefile.toml files. It works both as a cargo plugin (cargo make) and as a standalone executable (makers), supporting task dependencies, cross-platform scripts, and CI integration.

Use cases

• run build, test, and lint tasks with a single command
• define cross-platform build scripts for Rust projects
• replace make with a TOML-based task runner
• automate CI pipelines for Rust workspaces
• run tasks with dependencies and aliases
• execute duckscript or rust code as build steps

When to choose

• you maintain a Rust project and want a standardized task runner
• you need cross-platform build automation without shell-specific scripts
• you want task dependencies, overrides, and predefined flows in TOML

When to avoid

• your project is not Rust-based and you prefer a language-agnostic runner like just or make
• you need a minimal toolchain with no extra binary dependencies
