- 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
andTaskfile.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 exiting--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).
- Fix quote of empty strings in
- Install shell completions automatically when installing via Homebrew (#264, #592, go-task/homebrew-tap#2).
- A new
shellQuote
function was added to the template system ({{shellQuote "a string"}}
) to ensure a string is safe for use in shell (mvdan/sh#727, mvdan/sh#737, Documentation) - In this version mvdan.cc/sh was upgraded
with some small fixes and features
- The
read -p
flag is now supported (#314, mvdan/sh#551, mvdan/sh#772) - The
pwd -P
andpwd -L
flags are now supported (#553, mvdan/sh#724, mvdan/sh#728) - The
$GID
environment variable is now correctly being set (#561, mvdan/sh#723)
- The
- Add
interactive: true
setting to improve support for interactive CLI apps (#217, #563). - Fix some
nil
errors (#534, #573). - Add ability to declare an included Taskfile as optional (#519, #552).
- Add support for including Taskfiles in the home directory by using
~
(#539, #557).
- Add official support to Apple M1 (#564, #567).
- Our official Homebrew tap will support more platforms, including Apple M1
- Add
run:
setting to control if tasks should run multiple times or not. Available options arealways
(the default),when_changed
(if a variable modified the task) andonce
(run only once no matter what). This is a long time requested feature. Enjoy! (#53, #359).
- Allow using both
sources:
andstatus:
in the same task (#411, #427, #477). - Small optimization and bug fix: don't compute variables if not needed for
dotenv:
(#517).
- Add support for the
NO_COLOR
environment variable. (#459, fatih/color#137). - Fix bug where sources were not considering the right directory
in
--watch
mode (#484, #485).
- On watch, report which file failed to read (#472).
- Do not try to catch SIGKILL signal, which are not actually possible (#476).
- Improve version reporting when building Task from source using Go Modules (#462, #473).
- Improve error reporting when parsing YAML: in some situations where you would just see an generic error, you'll now see the actual error with more detail: the YAML line the failed to parse, for example (#467).
- A JSON Schema was published here and is automatically being used by some editors like Visual Studio Code (#135).
- Print task name before the command in the log output (#398).
- Add support for delegating CLI arguments to commands with
--
and a specialCLI_ARGS
variable (#327). - Add a
--concurrency
(alias-C
) flag, to limit the number of tasks that run concurrently. This is useful for heavy workloads. (#345).
- Improve performance of
--list
and--summary
by skipping running shell variables for these flags (#332). - Fixed a bug where an environment in a Taskfile was not always overridable by the system environment (#425).

- The install script is now working for ARM platforms (#428).
- Fixed some bugs and regressions regarding dynamic variables and directories (#426).
- The slim-sprig package was updated with the upstream sprig.
- Fix the
.task
directory being created in the task directory instead of the Taskfile directory (#247). - Fix a bug where dynamic variables (those declared with
sh:
) were not running in the task directory when the task has a custom dir or it was in an included Taskfile (#384). - The watch feature (via the
--watch
flag) got a few different bug fixes and should be more stable now (#423, #365).
- Fix a bug when the checksum up-to-date resolution is used by a task
with a custom
label:
attribute (#412). - Starting from this release, we're releasing official ARMv6 and ARM64 binaries for Linux (#375, #418).
- Task now respects the order of declaration of included Taskfiles when evaluating variables declaring by them (#393).
set -e
is now automatically set on every command. This was done to fix an issue where multiline string commands wouldn't really fail unless the sentence was in the last line (#403).

internal
directory (#358). - Do not error if a specified dotenv file does not exist (#378, #385).

v3
, all CLI variables will be considered global variables (#336, #341) - Add support to
.env
like files (#324, #356). - Add
label:
to task so you can override the task name in the logs (#321, #337). - Refactor how variables work on version 3 (#311).
- Disallow
expansions
on v3 since it has no effect. Taskvars.yml

includes
, so you can manually include a Taskfile based on operation system, for example. - Expose
.TASK
variable in templates with the task name (#252). - Implement short task syntax (#194, #240).
- Added option to make included Taskfile run commands on its own directory (#260, #144)

- 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
tochecksum
(#246). - New magic variables are now available when using
status:
:.TIMESTAMP
which contains the greatest modification date from the files listed insources:
, and.CHECKSUM
, which contains a checksum of all files listed instatus:
. This is useful for manual checking when using external, or even remote, artifacts when usingstatus:
(#216). - 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).
- Fix error code for the
--help
flag (#300, #330). - Print version to stdout instead of stderr (#299, #329).

silent: true
a the root of the Taskfile.

exit 0
was called (#251).

) (#221). - It's now possible to install Task using Homebrew on Linux (go-task/homebrew-tap#1).
- Reverted YAML upgrade due issues with CRLF on Windows (#201, go-yaml/yaml#450).
- Allow setting global variables through the CLI (#192).
