Nake is a task manager inspired by Rake. As well as Rake, Nake supports dependencies, multiple task definitions, file tasks, rules etc, but it can do more. It also supports advanced arguments parsing and task configuration. Nake is also 4x times faster than Rake. Nake comes with a lot of useful tasks for gem building, installation and releasing, running specs and also with snake executable for system-wide task (similar to Sake for Rake). If you are looking for documentation, take a look at Nake Wiki or clone the repository and go through examples.
