Platform-Specific Tasks

Supported Platforms & Architectures

Refer here for the list of supported platforms and architectures

You can create platform-specific tasks in Taskfile to run commands based on the operating system. This is useful when you need to perform different actions on different platforms, such as installing software or running scripts.

If there is no OS match, the task will not run (no error will be thrown).
