Snakemake is indeed a very useful tool for workflow development and management. However, in certain scenarios, it can also bring some issues. Coincidentally, I discovered a rather unconventional way of using it: only use Snakemake’s dependency handling and task management, while generating scripts separately.

Writing workflows is a common task in bioinformatics analysis, and a mature and well-designed tool can greatly improve the efficiency of work.

bash-it is a collection of bash plugins inspired by oh-my-zsh. Installing bash-it not only makes the bash interface more stylish but also makes the command line more convenient.
