Taskit

Taskit (said task-kit or TK for short) is the Masterpoint Taskfile Kit. We utilize this set of Taskfiles across clients as a means by which to share repeatable tasks like repo setup, tool automation, and similar shared scripting.

Using Taskit

Taskit is built around the idea of being consumed by downstream repos. It is pulled through a standard Taskfile that you can find in exports/Taskfile.dist.yaml.

The procedure to add it to a project is to do the following:

1. Copy exports/Taskfile.dist.yaml to your project by running the following command:

   curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/masterpointio/taskit/main/exports/Taskfile.dist.yaml -o Taskfile.dist.yaml

2. Run task init to initialize taskit by downloading this repo into your remote repo.

   1. Note, git is a requirement.

3. Run task --list to list all newly available tasks from taskit.

4. (Optional) Add a .env.taskit file which can include overrides for any variables in taskit.

5. Now that the setup process for taskit is complete, you should commit and push the new configuration files to your repo. Well done 👏
