task

• Fixed bug where, on Windows, variables were ending with \r because we were only removing the final \n but not \r\n (#717).

• The --list and --list-all flags can now be combined with the --silent flag to print the task names only, without their description (#691).
• Added support for multi-level inclusion of Taskfiles. This means that included Taskfiles can also include other Taskfiles. Before this was limited to one level (#390, #623, #656).
• Add ability to specify vars when including a Taskfile. Check out the documentation for more information (#677).

• Task now supports printing begin and end messages when using the group output mode, useful for grouping tasks in CI systems. Check out the documentation for more information (#647, #651).
• Add Taskfile.dist.yml and Taskfile.dist.yaml to the supported file name list. Check out the documentation for more information (#498, #666).

• A new --list-all (alias -a) flag is now available. It's similar to the existing --list (-l) but prints all tasks, even those without a description (#383, #401).
• It's now possible to schedule cleanup commands to run once a task finishes with the defer: keyword (Documentation, #475, #626).
• Remove long deprecated and undocumented $ variable prefix and ^ command prefix (#642, #644, #645).
• Add support for .yaml extension (as an alternative to .yml). This was requested multiple times throughout the years. Enjoy! (#183, #184, #369, #584, #621).
• Fixed error when computing a variable when the task directory do not exist yet (#481, #579).

• Upgrade mvdan/sh which contains a fix a for a important regression on Windows (#619, mvdan/sh#768, mvdan/sh#769).

• Add logging in verbose mode for when a task starts and finishes (#533, #588).
• Fix an issue with preconditions and context errors (#597, #598).
• Quote each {{.CLI_ARGS}} argument to prevent one with spaces to become many (#613).
• Fix nil pointer when cmd: was left empty (#612, #614).
• Upgrade mvdan/sh which contains two relevant fixes:
  • Fix quote of empty strings in shellQuote (#609, mvdan/sh#763).
  • Fix issue of wrong environment variable being picked when there's another very similar one (#586, mvdan/sh#745).
• Install shell completions automatically when installing via Homebrew (#264, #592, go-task/homebrew-tap#2).

• Add --parallel flag (alias -p) to run tasks given by the command line in parallel (#266).
• Fixed bug where calling the task CLI only informing global vars would not execute the default task.
• Add hability to silent all tasks by adding silent: true a the root of the Taskfile.

Changelog

• Fix error being raised when exit 0 was called (#251).

Changelog

• Taskfiles in version 1 are not supported anymore (#237).
• Added global method: option. With this option, you can set a default method to all tasks in a Taskfile (#246).
• Changed default method from timestamp to checksum (#246).
• New magic variables are now available when using status:: .TIMESTAMP which contains the greatest modification date from the files listed in sources:, and .CHECKSUM, which contains a checksum of all files listed in status:. This is useful for manual checking when using external, or even remote, artifacts when using status: (#216).

Changelog

• Fixed panic bug when assigning a global variable (#229, #243).
• A task with method: checksum will now re-run if generated files are deleted (#228, #238).

Changelog

• We're now using slim-sprig instead of sprig, which allowed a file size reduction of about 22% (#219).
• We now use some colors on Task output to better distinguish message types - commands are green, errors are red, etc (#207).

• Fixed some bugs regarding minor version checks on version:.
• Add preconditions: to task (#205).
• Create directory informed on dir: if it doesn't exist (#209, #211).
• We now have a --taskfile flag (alias -t), which can be used to run another Taskfile (other than the default Taskfile.yml) (#221).
• It's now possible to install Task using Homebrew on Linux (go-task/homebrew-tap#1).

Changelog

• Reverted YAML upgrade due issues with CRLF on Windows (#201, go-yaml/yaml#450).
• Allow setting global variables through the CLI (#192).

Changelog

• Fixed some issues with interactive command line tools, where sometimes the output were not being shown, and similar issues (#114, #190, #200).
• Upgraded go-yaml/yaml from v2 to v3.

Changelog

• We moved from the taskfile.org domain to the new fancy taskfile.dev domain. While stuff is being redirected, we strongly recommend to everyone that use this install script to use the new taskfile.dev domain on scripts from now on.
• Fixed to the ZSH completion (#182).
• Add --summary flag along with summary: task attribute (#180).

Changelog

• Allow calling a task of the root Taskfile from an included Taskfile by prefixing it with : (#161, #172),
• Add flag to override the output option (#173);
• Fix bug where Task was persisting the new checksum on the disk when the Dry Mode is enabled (#166);
• Fix file timestamp issue when the file name has spaces (#176);
• Mitigating path expanding issues on Windows (#170).

Changelog

• On Windows, Task can now be installed using Scoop (#152);
• Fixed issue with file/directory globing (#153);
• Added ability to globally set environment variables (#138, #159).

Changelog

• This repository now uses Go Modules (#143). We'll still keep the vendor directory in sync for some time, though;
• Fixing a bug when the Taskfile has no tasks but includes another Taskfile (#150);
• Fix a bug when calling another task or a dependency in an included Taskfile (#151).

Changelog

• Added support for including other Taskfiles (#98)
  • This should be considered experimental. For now, only including local files is supported, but support for including remote Taskfiles is being discussed. If you have any feedback, please comment on #98.
• Task now have a dedicated documentation site: https://taskfile.org
  • Thanks to Docsify for making this pretty easy. To check the source code, just take a look at the docs directory of this repository. Contributions to the documentation is really appreciated.

Changelog

• Fix suggestion to use task --init not being shown anymore (when a Taskfile.yml is not found)
• Fix error when using checksum method and no file exists for a source glob (#131)
• Fix signal handling when the --watch flag is given (#132)
