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: '2'
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).
