Welcome to Invoke!
==================
Invoke is a Python library for managing shell-oriented subprocesses and
organizing executable Python code into CLI-invokable tasks. It draws
inspiration from various sources (``make``/``rake``, Fabric 1.x, etc) to arrive
at a powerful & clean feature set.
To find out what's new in this version of Invoke, please see `the changelog
<https://pyinvoke.org/changelog.html#{}>`_.
For a high level introduction, including example code, please see `our main
project website <https://pyinvoke.org>`_; or for detailed API docs, see `the
versioned API website <https://docs.pyinvoke.org>`_.
The project maintainer keeps a `roadmap
<https://bitprophet.org/projects#roadmap>`_ on his website.
