Task Automation¶

go-task (invoked as task) provides project and global task automation.

Global Tasks¶

Run from anywhere with tg (alias for task --global):

Task	Description
`task dotfiles:install`	Install dotfiles
`task dotfiles:update`	Pull and apply latest dotfiles
`task gh:repo`	Open current repo on GitHub
`task gh:actions`	Open GitHub Actions for current repo

AWS Tasks¶

Task	Usage	Description
`task aws:auth`	`task aws:auth -- myprofile`	Auth with aws-vault
`task aws:list_users`	`task aws:list_users`	List IAM users + access keys
`task eks:latestaddons`	`task eks:latestaddons -- 1.29`	Get latest addon versions for EKS

Kubernetes Tasks¶

Task	Description
`task kubectl:drain:condoned`	Drain all cordoned nodes
`task kubectl:pods:clean`	Delete Succeeded + Failed pods across all namespaces

Terraform Tasks¶

Task	Description
`task tf:init`	Init with dynamic S3 backend bucket
`task tf:plan`	Plan with sandbox tfvars

The tf:init task auto-resolves the S3 bucket name:

terraform init -reconfigure \
  -backend-config="bucket=tf-state-$(aws sts get-caller-identity | jq -r .Account)"

GitHub Tasks¶

Both gh:repo and gh:actions extract the org/repo from your current working directory path and open the corresponding GitHub page.

cd ~/dev/dnd-it/my-project
task gh:actions    # Opens https://github.com/dnd-it/my-project/actions

Adding Tasks¶

Project Tasks¶

Add a Taskfile.yaml in any project directory:

version: "3"
tasks:
  build:
    cmds:
      - go build ./...

Global Tasks¶

Edit ~/.local/share/chezmoi/Taskfile.yaml (source) or the taskfiles in dot_taskfiles/.

Tasks are included via the includes directive:

includes:
  aws:
    taskfile: ~/.taskfiles/aws/Taskfile.yaml
    optional: true
  kubectl:
    taskfile: ~/.taskfiles/kubectl/Taskfile.yaml
    optional: true
