Notable projects using taskfile?

[ssbarnea]

I tried to find a list of notable (big/popular) projects that use taskfile themselves but I was not able to find such a list.

The only finding so far was using https://sourcegraph.com/search?q=context:global+file:%5ETaskfile.ya%3Fml&patternType=regexp which returns results based on github stars. Only 3 projects seem to be more popular than taskfile itself:

• gogs 40k
• drone 25k
• goreleaser 10k

Maybe someone has better examples?

PS. Please note that used a special regex search for that as I did not want to include projects that might have a config in a subfolder that could happen to be just a vendored dependency.

Hi @ssbarnea,

I think this project is probably not as big as you might think. (Or maybe another way to see it is that it still has a lot of space to grow).

To be honest, I'm impressed by the number of users it currently has, because in the beginning this was supposed to be a very small/simple tool, but evolved with time. I never imagined it would become this popular. Seems the interest has grown with time, if we take into account the star history.

There are other similar tools out there that are competent too, but didn't manage to get the same traction, like Tusk, Hammerkit and others, for comparison.

Regarding your question, I see many small repositories using Task, but not many big ones as you said. Gitea had conversations about adopting it in the past, but that didn't happen (at least yet). Between the relevant users that I know I'd like to highlight Arduino and Microsoft with this small repository. We should keep in mind that many may use Task on private repositories and we can't easily know about them.
