API Reference

CLI​

Task command line tool has the following syntax:

task [--flags] [tasks...] [-- CLI_ARGS...]
tip

If -- is given, all remaning arguments will be assigned to a special CLI_ARGS -variable

ShortFlagTypeDefaultDescription
-c--colorbooltrueColored output. Enabled by default. Set flag to false or use NO_COLOR=1 to disable.
-C--concurrencyint0Limit number tasks to run concurrently. Zero means unlimited.
-d--dirstringWorking directorySets directory of execution.
-n--dryboolfalseCompiles and prints tasks in the order that they would be run, without executing them.
-x--exit-codeboolfalsePass-through the exit code of the task command.
-f--forceboolfalseForces execution even when the task is up-to-date.
-h--helpboolfalseShows Task usage.
-i--initboolfalseCreates a new Taskfile.yaml in the current folder.
-I--intervalstring5sSets a different watch interval when using --watch, the default being 5 seconds. This string should be a valid Go Duration.

-a--list-allboolfalseLists tasks with or without a description.
-o--outputstringDefault set in the Taskfile or intervealedSets output style: [interleaved/group/prefixed].
--output-group-beginstringMessage template to print before a task's grouped output.
--output-group-endstringMessage template to print after a task's grouped output.
--output-group-error-onlyboolfalseSwallow command output on zero exit code.

Include​

AttributeTypeDefaultDescription
taskfilestringThe path for the Taskfile or directory to be included. If a directory, Task will look for files named Taskfile.yml or Taskfile.yaml inside that directory. If a relative path, resolved relative to the directory containing the including Taskfile.
dirstringThe parent Taskfile directoryThe working directory of the included tasks when run.
optionalboolfalseIf true, no errors will be thrown if the specified file does not exist.
internalboolfalseStops any task in the included Taskfile from being callable on the command line. These commands will also be omitted from the output when used with --list.
aliases[]stringAlternative names for the namespace of the included Taskfile.
varsmap[string]VariableA set of variables to apply to the included Taskfile.
info

Informing only a string like below is equivalent to setting that value to the taskfile attribute.

includes:
  foo: ./path

If you don't want to set additional variables, it's enough to declare the dependency as a list of strings (they will be assigned to task):

tasks:
  foo:
    deps: [foo, bar]

      - echo "bar"

Variable​

AttributeTypeDefaultDescription
itselfstringA static value that will be set to the variable.

  STATIC: static
  DYNAMIC:
    sh: echo "dynamic"

Precondition​

AttributeTypeDefaultDescription
shstringCommand to be executed. If a non-zero exit code is returned, the task errors without executing its commands.
msgstringOptional message to print if the precondition isn't met.
tip

If you don't want to set a different message, you can declare a precondition like this and the value will be assigned to sh:

tasks:
  foo:
    precondition: test -f Taskfile.yml
