Basic usage
In Castor, tasks are set up as typical PHP functions marked with the #[AsTask()] attribute in a castor.php file.

What developers say
"Finally a task runner that feels like PHP. No weird DSL, just functions."
— Every Castor user, probably"I thought I needed Bash, Make, and half a DevOps degree. Turns out I just needed Castor."
— A surprisingly relieved developer"We migrated from Make to Castor and nobody cried. That's a win."
— Senior Developer, now less grumpy
Why not Make / Robo / Phing / Deployer / Symfony Console?
Because:
- Make is not PHP, and is hard to maintain in large projects
- Others are either too verbose, OOP-heavy, requiring YML or XML configurations or are specialized in deployment only.
- Symfony Console is a great base - but Castor is built on top of it and gives you superpowers
