Hey Alden welcome! In short ploomber caches your previous executions on upstream code and will trigger it in case there was a change, you can also pass a force flag to make sure it’s running. You can see more information in the FAQ. It also works with R 🙂

You got it, similar to GNU Make!

@Ido (Ploomber) @Eduardo Awesome! Thanks.

no problem! I'm curious: what are you working on?

I'm trying to replicate a project at work that's written with a strong preference for incremental builds (with heavy use of the

targets

package in R, GNU Make). We're moving towards python and I'm looking for ways to implement such workflow and so I found ploomber!

ah nice! anything we can do to help? happy to help you make the Python transition easier 🙂

Thanks @Eduardo! I'll definitely ping you and everyone who's working on the library if I ever meet some hurdles! I'll definitely need it since I'm trying to skirt around compute limitations within the company.

awesome! looking forward to hear your feedback!
