Installation

$ stack install

Suggested Usage

One thing I do often while working on a computer that fails a lot is compilation.

To build and register this project, I run one command:

$ stack install

but, when I need to make changes, compilation often fails for some reason or another.

For example, imagine I added this to Determination.hs:

someExtraThing::Bool
someExtraThing =1

$ stack install
determination-0.1.0.0: unregistering (local file changes: src/Determination.hs)
determination-0.1.0.0: build

Let's wrap it with determination in a Makefile so we can be less sad when things fail:

# Makefile
install:
determination "stack install"
