Task is a task runner / build tool that aims to be simpler and easier to use than, for example, [GNU Make][make].
|
|
|
|
Since it's written in [Go][go], Task is just a single binary and has no other dependencies, which means you don't need to mess with any complicated install setups just to use a build tool.
|
|
|
|
Once [installed](installation.md), you just need to describe your build tasks using a simple [YAML][yaml] schema in a file called `Taskfile.yml`:
|
|
|
|
```yaml title="Taskfile.yml"
|
|
version: '3'
|
|
|
|
tasks:
|
|
hello:
|
|
cmds:
|
|
- echo 'Hello World from Task!'
|
|
silent: true
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
And call it by running `task hello` from your terminal.
|
|
|
|
The above example is just the start, you can take a look at the [usage](/usage) guide to check the full schema documentation and Task features.
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
|
|
- [Easy installation](installation.md): just download a single binary, add to `$PATH` and you're done! Or you can also install using [Homebrew][homebrew], [Snapcraft][snapcraft], or [Scoop][scoop] if you want.
|
|
- Available on CIs: by adding [this simple command](installation.md#install-script) to install on your CI script and you're ready to use Task as part of your CI pipeline;
|
|
- Truly cross-platform: while most build tools only work well on Linux or macOS, Task also supports Windows thanks to [this shell interpreter for Go][sh].
|
|
- Great for code generation: you can easily [prevent a task from running](/usage#prevent-unnecessary-work) if a given set of files haven't changed since last run (based either on its timestamp or content).
