Pro Tips

Define tasks in deno.json 'tasks' object for project-specific commands.

Tasks can reference other tasks and use shell operators.

Use 'deno task' without arguments to list available tasks.

Tasks run in a cross-platform shell - avoid OS-specific commands.

Task shell is limited - complex scripts may need separate files.

$ deno task <name>

Run a task defined in deno.json

$ deno task dev

Run the dev task (commonly defined)

$ deno task

Show all available tasks

$ deno task start

Run the start task (commonly defined)
