Taskfile, the Makefile on Steroids!
summary
Compares Makefiles with Taskfile, a Go-based task runner used to unify and orchestrate commands across 20+ heterogeneous repositories. Presents a real root Taskfile that includes per-project Taskfile.go templates, runs frontend and backend builds in parallel, wires build tasks as dependencies before deploy, and demonstrates features such as HTTP remote includes (experimental), checksum-based up-to-date detection, required variables and preconditions (e.g. Terraform checks), internal tasks, production confirmation prompts, silent mode, and CI-friendly -y usage; the example is shown working end-to-end.
