Double -s argument does not make sense according to curl manual page. -s stands for silent, while -S (capital S) stands for showing the error. When used in combination, curl shows an error message if it fails, but disables progress meter. Finally, in the end of sh command there is -d, which stands for debug and contradicts -sS curl arguments. I suggest to remove curl silencers all together, because more debug is better in CIs. I also suggest to use --location instead of -L for clarity.
Task
Task is a task runner / build tool that aims to be simpler and easier to use than, for example, GNU Make.
Since it's written in 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, you just need to describe your build tasks
using a simple YAML schema in a file called Taskfile.yml:
version: '3'
tasks:
hello:
cmds:
- echo 'Hello World from Task!'
silent: true
And call it by running task hello from you terminal.
The above example is just the start, you can take a look at the usage guide to check the full schema documentation and Task features.
Features
- Easy installation: just download a single binary, add to $PATH and you're done! Or you can also install using Homebrew, Snapcraft, or Scoop if you want;
- Available on CIs: by adding this simple command to install on your CI script and you're done 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 awesome shell interpreter for Go;
- Great for code generation: you can easily prevent a task from running if a given set of files haven't changed since last run (based either on its timestamp or content).
