Task Directory

For running included Taskfiles in a different directory, see Include Other Taskfile to Run on Different Directory.

By default, tasks run in the directory where the Taskfile is located. Use the dir keyword to run a task’s commands in a different directory.

Taskfile.yml

version: '3'
tasks:
  get-working-directory:
    dir: ./app1
    cmds:
      - pwd

If the specified directory does not exist, Task will create it automatically.

Demo and output

ubuntu@touted-mite:~$ task get-working-directory
task: [get-working-directory] pwd
/home/ubuntu/app1
