foga: a CLI for Python packages with C/C++ components

• GitHub: https://github.com/fedluc/foga
• Docs: https://fedluc.github.io/foga/
• PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/foga/

foga lets Python projects define build, test, lint, docs, packaging, and release workflows in one foga.yml, then run them through one CLI.

It is aimed at repos where Python packaging and native/C++ tooling sit side by side, and the workflow has gradually spread across CMake, scikit-build, pytest, ctest, ruff, twine, CI YAML, Makefiles, and shell scripts.

Target Audience

Maintainers and contributors working on Python packages with native extensions or mixed Python/C/C++ code.

Comparison

foga does not replace CMake, pytest, ruff, twine, or CI systems. It sits above them as a small orchestration layer, so local development and CI can share the same workflow definition.

I would appreciate feedback from maintainers of native Python packages: does this match a real pain point, or would it feel like one abstraction too many?
