Task
A fast, cross-platform build tool inspired by Make, designed for modern workflows.
Task is a modern, cross-platform task runner and build tool inspired by Make. It uses a single binary with zero dependencies and runs the same Taskfile on Linux, macOS, and Windows. It supports smart caching via file change tracking, command chaining, and dependency management for automating repetitive workflows.
Users define tasks in a Taskfile, then run them via a single binary that handles cross-platform execution, dependency ordering, and smart caching to skip unnecessary work.
