Problem

would like to align the hints on the right side by the same column and remove unnecessary empty space lines between targets listed in the output

[dmitry-mightydevops]

here is the taskfile

version: '3'

tasks:
  check-file-existence:
    desc: "Check if the specified file exists"
    vars:
      file: '{{.file}}'
    cmds:
      - test -f "{{.file}}" || (echo "The file {{.file}} does not exist" && exit 1)
    silent: true

  encrypt-string:
    desc: |
      Encrypt secret string with AWS KMS keys to be used in terraform, example: `task secrets:encrypt-string -- secret-text-here`
    vars:
      secret: '{{ index ($x:=splitArgs .CLI_ARGS) 0 }}'
    requires:
      vars: [ENV]
    cmds:
      - |
        echo :OK"
    silent: true

  decrypt-string:
    desc: |
      Decrypt string with AWS KMS keys to be used in terraform, example: `task secrets:encrypt-string -- encrypted-text-here`
    vars:
      secret: '{{ index ($x:=splitArgs .CLI_ARGS) 0 }}'
    requires:
      vars: [ENV]
    cmds:
      - |
        echo :OK"
    silent: true

  encrypt-file:
    desc: |
      Encrypt secret with AWS KMS keys to be used in terraform, example: `task secrets:encrypt-file -- apps/spiderkeeper/envs/prod.secrets.yaml`
    vars:
      file: '{{ index ($x:=splitArgs .CLI_ARGS) 0 }}'
    requires:
      vars: [ENV]
    cmds:
      - task: check-file-existence
        vars: {file: "{{.file}}"}
      - |
        echo :OK"
    silent: true

  decrypt-file:
    desc: |
      Decrypt secret with AWS KMS keys to be used in terraform, example: `task secrets:decrypt-file -- apps/spiderkeeper/envs/prod.secrets.yaml.encrypted`
    vars:
      file: '{{ index ($x:=splitArgs .CLI_ARGS) 0 }}'
    requires:
      vars: [ENV]
    cmds:
      - task: check-file-existence
        vars: {file: "{{.file}}"}
      - |
        echo :OK"
    silent: true

  edit-encrypted-file:
    desc: |
      Encrypt secret with AWS KMS keys to be used in terraform, example: `task secrets:edit-encrypted-file VAR=sentry_slack_webhook_url VAL=https://example.com -- ../secret.yaml.encrypted`
    vars:
      file: '{{ index ($x:=splitArgs .CLI_ARGS) 0 }}'
    requires:
      vars: [ENV, VAR, VAL]
    cmds:
      - task: check-file-existence
        vars: {file: "{{.file}}"}
        output: decrypted_output
      - |
        echo :OK"
    silent: true

so if desc is multiline, i.e. this then the formatting is off

target:
  desc: |
    Then we have issues

If I change it to a single line

version: '3'

tasks:
  check-file-existence:
    desc: "Check if the specified file exists"
    vars:
      file: '{{.file}}'
    cmds:
      - test -f "{{.file}}" || (echo "The file {{.file}} does not exist" && exit 1)
    silent: true

  encrypt-string:
    desc: "Encrypt secret string with AWS KMS keys to be used in terraform, example: `task secrets:encrypt-string -- secret-text-here`"
    vars:
      secret: '{{ index ($x:=splitArgs .CLI_ARGS) 0 }}'
    requires:
      vars: [ENV]
    cmds:
      - |
        echo :OK"
    silent: true

  decrypt-string:
    desc: "Decrypt string with AWS KMS keys to be used in terraform, example: `task secrets:encrypt-string -- encrypted-text-here`"
    vars:
      secret: '{{ index ($x:=splitArgs .CLI_ARGS) 0 }}'
    requires:
      vars: [ENV]
    cmds:
      - |
        echo :OK"
    silent: true

  encrypt-file:
    desc: "Encrypt secret with AWS KMS keys to be used in terraform, example: `task secrets:encrypt-file -- apps/spiderkeeper/envs/prod.secrets.yaml`"
    vars:
      file: '{{ index ($x:=splitArgs .CLI_ARGS) 0 }}'
    requires:
      vars: [ENV]
    cmds:
      - task: check-file-existence
        vars: {file: "{{.file}}"}
      - |
        echo :OK"
    silent: true

  decrypt-file:
    desc: "Decrypt secret with AWS KMS keys to be used in terraform, example: `task secrets:decrypt-file -- apps/spiderkeeper/envs/prod.secrets.yaml.encrypted`"
    vars:
      file: '{{ index ($x:=splitArgs .CLI_ARGS) 0 }}'
    requires:
      vars: [ENV]
    cmds:
      - task: check-file-existence
        vars: {file: "{{.file}}"}
      - |
        echo :OK"
    silent: true

  edit-encrypted-file:
    desc: "Encrypt secret with AWS KMS keys to be used in terraform, example: `task secrets:edit-encrypted-file VAR=sentry_slack_webhook_url VAL=https://example.com -- ../secret.yaml.encrypted`"
    vars:
      file: '{{ index ($x:=splitArgs .CLI_ARGS) 0 }}'
    requires:
      vars: [ENV, VAR, VAL]
    cmds:
      - task: check-file-existence
        vars: {file: "{{.file}}"}
        output: decrypted_output
      - |
        echo :OK"
    silent: true

then all is good:
