NAME

       Rant - Flexible, Ruby based make

SYNOPSIS

       The  rant-import  command  creates a monolithic rant script tailored to
       the needs of your project and thus removes the dependency  on  an  Rant
       installation  (but  of  course one person needs an Rant installation to
       run rant-import).

       Run the command with the --help option to get a brief help message:

           % rant-import --help

       Probably the easiest way to create your monolithic rant script is  with
       the --auto option:

           % rant-import --auto ant

       This will write a monolithic rant script to the file ant in the current
       directory. To determine which  plugins  and  imports  your  project  is
       using,  it  performs  step  2  of  the  rant  command  as  described in
       doc/rant.rdoc, which means that it loads the Rantfile  in  the  current
       directory.

       That one command should be enough:

           % ruby ant

       This  script  has the same behaviour as the rant command. Distribute it
       with your project and nobody else but you needs an Rant installation.
