Silent Mode

Silent Mode in Taskfile allows you to run tasks without displaying their output, which can be useful for background tasks or when you want to keep the console clean. To enable silent mode, you can use the --silent flag when running a task or use silent: true in the Taskfile.

There are four ways to enable silent mode:

at command level
at task level
globally at taskfile level or using --slient flag
redirect the output to /dev/null

Taskfile.yaml


version: '3'
 
silent: true # global silent mode

  silent-command-task:
    cmds:
      - cmd: echo "This will not be displayed in silent mode"
        silent: true
  silent-task:
    silent: true
    cmds:
      - echo "This will not be displayed in silent mode"
  silent-task-with-redirect:
    cmds:
      - echo "This will not be displayed in silent mode" > /dev/null
