What is Redo?
It is a competitor to the long-lived make program. Unlike other such competitors, it captures the essential simplicity and flexibility of make, while avoiding its flaws. It manages to do this while being simultaneously simpler than make, more flexible than make, and more powerful than make, and without sacrificing performance - a rare combination of features.
Redo is a tool in the Build Automation category of a tech stack.
