Use Taskfile instead or in addition of Makefile

[Rjdrenth]

🚀 Feature Request

You mentioned improving the Makefile for windows support. I'd like to suggest using a Taskfile](https://taskfile.dev/) instead of a Makefile, which provides all the functionality of a Makefile and more. It also allows for distinctive commands based on the OS. Another great feature is that it can load .env files.

As an example, see the Taskfile I use in my own cookiecutter template: Taskfile

I am glad to hear it. It seems more elegant. I will try to learn about it. Thanks for you suggestion!

There are some problem if we use Taskfile:

• github actions need install it but makefile default in Ubuntu of github actions.
• It a new technique, means people need additional learning cost.
• We can get the same function by using makefile.

I have been research some other solution. The best way to build project may be poetry run xxx. We can use poetry test to test the project and using poetry build to build the project.

All command in poetry means we should not maintain excess files like makefile. So the question is how to run script in poetry. Poetry can only run python script originally, https://github.com/python-poetry/poetry/pull/591 and https://github.com/python-poetry/poetry/issues/241 has talk about it. We can using poe the poet plugin to implement it. A simple example is as follows:

Install poe the poet plugin in poetry

poetry self add poethepoet[poetry_plugin]

Next, write these in pyproject.toml

[tool.poe.tasks]
test = "pytest --cov=poethepoet"                                # command based
mksandwich = { script = "my_package.sandwich:build" }                 # python script based
tunnel = { shell = "ssh -N -L 0.0.0.0:8080:$PROD:8080 $PROD &" }  # shell script based

So we can use the following commands to invoke.

poetry run poe test -v   
poetry run poe tunnel

Add the poetry_command

[tool.poe]
poetry_command = ""

Now we can use poetry test to run test = "pytest --cov=poethepoet".

We can use poe the poet. It can be installed in poetry but it still need learning cost. Makefile seems also a good way to build the project if we make some compatibility in Makefile.
