About Task

A task runner and build tool that aims to be simpler and easier than Make, defining tasks in YAML with dependencies, variables and cross-platform support for development automation. It is free and open source, so teams can self-host it, inspect the code and adapt it to their own infrastructure without licence fees or vendor lock-in. Typical users run it alongside existing workflows to cut manual effort, improve visibility and keep full control over data, configuration and upgrades over time.
