• Importing tasks
  • 1) Install a package
  • 2) In YAML syntax
  • 2) In Python syntax
  • Ready to go? Check Built-in tasks that you can import in your Makefile
• Troubleshooting

  • Read more in global environment variables
• Tasks API
  • Each task must implement a TaskInterface
  • To include a task, wrap it in a declaration
  • To create an alias for task or multiple tasks
  • Execution context provides parsed shell arguments and environment variables

• Good practices
  • Do not use os.getenv()
  • Define your environment variables
  • Use sh(), exec(), rkd() and silent_sh()
  • Do not print if you do not must, use io()
• Process isolation and permissions changing with sudo
  • Mechanism
  • Permissions changing with sudo
  • Future usage
• Docker entrypoints under control
  • Environment variables
  • Arguments propagation
