Writing Tasks

Tasks can be written in Bash, Typescript, and Python and are located in ./tasks/some/command/task{.sh,.ts,.py}. The following environment variables are available.

Environment Description
TASK_BINARY The absolute path of ./task.
TASK_ROOT_DIR The absolute path of the root directory of the project.
TASK_TASK_DIR The absolute path of the directory in which the task is located.

Some hints:

  • There is no need to include #!/usr/bin/bash or set -e in Bash tasks.
  • Bash tasks are executed from TASK_ROOT_DIR.
  • To add a summary, place a single line in ${TASK_TASK_DIR}/summary.
  • To add a help text for a task, place the text in ${TASK_TASK_DIR}/help.
  • Always add a new line at the end of every file.
