TaskUI - Simple Terminal UI for Task / taskfile.dev

TaskUI is a lightweight terminal user interface for executing tasks defined using taskfile.dev. It provides an easy way to navigate through tasks using arrow keys or Vim-like shortcuts.

Current features are task execution, search and preview.

Usage

• Navigate through tasks using arrow keys up and down, or use j and k to move.
• Press Enter to execute the selected task.
• Press q to exit the program without executing a task.
• Press / to toggle the search bar. Use Esc to reset the search or Enter to get back to selection mode.
• Press p to toggle the preview of a selected task. Use p again or q to close the preview.

TaskUI can be configured using environment variables.

Available configuration options are:
