Requiring Confirmation for Recipes

just normally executes all recipes unless there is an error. The [confirm] attribute1.17.0 allows recipes to require confirmation in the terminal prior to running. This can be overridden by passing --yes to just, which will automatically confirm any recipes marked by this attribute.

Recipes dependent on a recipe that requires confirmation will not be run if the relied upon recipe is not confirmed, as well as recipes passed after any recipe that requires confirmation.

[confirm]
delete-all:
  rm -rf *

Custom Confirmation Prompt

The default confirmation prompt can be overridden with [confirm(PROMPT)]1.23.0:

[confirm("Are you sure you want to delete everything?")]
delete-everything:
  rm -rf *

The confirmation prompt may also be an expression1.49.0 which may reference assignments or recipe arguments:

[confirm("Deploy to " + env + "?")]
deploy env:
  echo 'Deploying to {{env}}...'
