Just Programmer's Manual

Documentation Comments

Comments immediately preceding a recipe will appear in just --list:

# build stuff
build:
  ./bin/build

# test stuff
test:
  ./bin/test

$ just --list
Available recipes:
    build # build stuff
    test # test stuff

The [doc] attribute can be used to set or suppress a recipe’s doc comment:

# This comment won't appear
[doc('Build stuff')]
build:
  ./bin/build

# This one won't either
[doc]
test:
  ./bin/test

$ just --list
Available recipes:
    build # Build stuff
    test
