Command-line Options

just supports a number of useful command-line options for listing, dumping, and debugging recipes and variables:

$ just --list
Available recipes:
  js
  perl
  polyglot
  python
  ruby
$ just --show perl
perl:
  #!/usr/bin/env perl
  print "Larry Wall says Hi!\n";
$ just --show polyglot
polyglot: python js perl sh ruby

Setting Command-line Options with Environment Variables

Some command-line options can be set with environment variables

For example, unstable features can be enabled either with the --unstable flag:

$ just --unstable

Or by setting the JUST_UNSTABLE environment variable:

$ export JUST_UNSTABLE=1
$ just

Since environment variables are inherited by child processes, command-line options set with environment variables are inherited by recursive invocations of just, where as command line options set with arguments are not.

Consult just --help for which options can be set with environment variables.
