SYNOPSIS
       rake [-f rakefile] [options] targets ...

DESCRIPTION
       rake is a make(1)-like build utility for Ruby.  Tasks and dependencies are specified in stan‐
       dard Ruby syntax.

OPTIONS

               Build all prerequisites, including those which are up-to-date.

       -j, --jobs num_jobs
               Specifies  the  maximum  number of tasks to execute in parallel (default is number of
               CPU cores + 4).

   Modules
       -I, --libdir libdir
               Include libdir in the search path for required modules.

       -r, --require module
               Require module before executing rakefile.

   Rakefile location
       -f, --rakefile filename
               Use filename as the rakefile to search for.

       -N, --no-search, --nosearch
               Do not search parent directories for the Rakefile.

       -G, --no-system, --nosystem
               Use standard project Rakefile search paths, ignore system wide rakefiles.

       -R, --rakelib rakelibdir, --rakelibdir rakelibdir
               Auto-import any .rake files in rakelibdir (default is ‘rakelib’)

       -g, --system
               Use system-wide (global) rakefiles (usually ~/.rake/*.rake).

   Debugging
       --backtrace=out
               Enable full backtrace.  out can be stderr (default) or stdout.

       -t, --trace=out
               Turn on invoke/execute tracing, enable full backtrace.  out can be  stderr  (default)
               or stdout.

       --suppress-backtrace pattern
               Suppress backtrace lines matching regexp pattern.  Ignored if --trace is on.

       --rules
               Trace the rules resolution.

       -n, --dry-run
               Do a dry run without executing actions.

       -T, --tasks [pattern]
               Display the tasks (matching optional pattern) with descriptions, then exit.

       -D, --describe [pattern]
               Describe the tasks (matching optional pattern), then exit.

       -W, --where [pattern]
               Describe the tasks (matching optional pattern), then exit.

       -P, --prereqs
               Display the tasks and dependencies, then exit.

       -e, --execute code
               Execute some Ruby code and exit.

       -p, --execute-print code
               Execute some Ruby code, print the result, then exit.

               Execute some Ruby code, then continue with normal task processing.

   Information
       -v, --verbose
               Log message to standard output.

       -q, --quiet
               Do not log messages to standard output.

       -s, --silent

               Display job statistics.  If level is ‘history’, displays a complete job list.

       -V, --version
               Display the program version.
