VS Code tasks for your workspace¶
Detect a project's tools, choose the task collections you need, and keep the resulting .vscode/tasks.json under your control.
Detect¶
The Python CLI and VS Code extension identify project indicators such as pyproject.toml and package.json.
Install¶
Choose task definitions for Python, JavaScript, React, Node.js, Docker, and Git workflows.
Adapt¶
Review the generated VS Code tasks, keep the ones that fit your project, and add your own commands.
Work with the toolkit¶
The repository includes a Python CLI, a VS Code extension, and Bash, PowerShell, and Python install scripts. Each provides a different route to the task definitions in tasks/. Start with the installation guide, then use the task catalog to inspect the source JSON before installing.
Tasks call tools already available in your project environment. For example, a task that runs pytest requires pytest to be installed in that project. The customization guide shows how to adjust these commands.
