      <p>In some of my first emails to this list, I wrote about <code>just</code> and <code>run</code> files.</p>

      <p>Both allow you to write project-specific aliases and commands. For example, instead of running <code>docker compose exec php phpunit</code>, you run <code>just test</code> or <code>run test</code>.</p>

      <p>While <code>just</code> uses a simple Makefile-like syntax, it requires its own program, so it needs to be installed.</p>

      <p>While I have it installed locally, I've had instances where CI pipelines have failed because they can't download and install <code>just</code> and not because of an error in my code.</p>

      <h2 id="here%27s-the-thing">Here's the thing</h2>

      <p>A <code>run</code> script is a file of Bash functions.</p>

      <p>Because it's written in Bash, it runs anywhere without installing additional dependencies.</p>

      <p>If a CI pipeline fails, which is less often, it's due to a failure within my code and not because of a download error.</p>
