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
