I Love Justfiles

Since then, I find myself dropping little justfiles all over the place. Here's one I created for an Ansible repository:

Super simple 🚀, and it lets me run a bunch of Ansible playbooks like this:

Sometimes I'll drop one in the root of a remote server with a bunch of common tasks like installing updates, running various maintenance tasks, or monitoring the system. I used to do this with Bash aliases, but I prefer the just syntax, and it feels easier to copy the files around.
