Setup your configurations

The aim of this tool is not a replacement for any build system out there. It's an addon to them, so you can manage to setup your builds on multiple OS.

The tool is looking for one of the file for checking the command:

.projecttask

tasks.ini

.config/tasks.ini

If you don't like the file name or location, you can specify your own file tasks with -f flag.

And here is a task file example:

[win32]
init=cmake -B build -G "MinGW Makefiles"
build=cmake --build build
clean=rmdir /S/Q build && mkdir build
run=bin\main.exe

[macos]
init=cmake -B build -H.
build=cmake --build build
clean=rm -r build && mkdir build
run=bin/main

Then you can run the project init command, the tool will look into the right command to run based on your OS.
