Task

A task a piece of work with dependencies, that requires input files and generates output files.

Tasks are pieces of work that you need to build or development your project.

The minimal task just contains a list of commands.

tasks:
  example:
    cmds:
      - echo "minimal example"

Source

Tasks that depend on input files should specify them as a source. Hammerkit will detect if the task sources have changed compared to previous runs and skip execution if they are unchanged.

tasks:
  build:
    description: "run typescript build"
    src:
      - tsconfig.json
      - src
    cmds:
      - tsc

Generate

Tasks that generate output files should specify them as a generate. Hammerkit can store generated files into archives, which can be used to save and restore build outputs.

tasks:
  build:
    description: "run typescript build"
    src:
      - tsconfig.json
      - src
    generates:
      - dist
    cmds:
      - tsc
