Silent Mode allows you to run tasks without printing the command being executed, which is useful for keeping the console output clean. There are four ways to enable silent mode:
  1. At the command level
  2. At the task level
  3. Globally in the Taskfile or using the --silent flag
  4. Redirect output to /dev/null
Taskfile.yaml
version: '3'

silent: true # global silent mode

tasks:
  silent-command-task:
    cmds:
      - cmd: echo "This command runs silently"
        silent: true

  silent-task:
    silent: true
    cmds:
      - echo "This task runs silently"

  silent-task-with-redirect:
    cmds:
      - echo "This output is discarded" > /dev/null
You can also enable silent mode from the CLI without modifying the Taskfile:
task --silent <task-name>
