Describe The Solution You'd Like

Code Sample

/// paste code here

[sagiegurari]

you can run a command and put its last outline line as the value, so you can do something like:

[env]
CURRENT_DATE = { script = ["date"] }

thanks for answering, but it would not work well on Windows.

btw, writing like this can help
echo %date:~0,4%-%date:~5,2%-%date:~8,2%

@noahlin27 so you can load different env script per OS

1. either use load_script - https://github.com/sagiegurari/cargo-make#load-scripts - which do support duckscript and you can do if is_windows and stuff like that.
2. another option is to have a task with OS override - https://github.com/sagiegurari/cargo-make#usage-platform-override - and define the env in that task differently per OS. and have that task as a pre task for all scripts - https://github.com/sagiegurari/cargo-make#usage-init-end-tasks
