pyTasker 0.1.0

Run pipelines on your own computer for better automation

Tasker

You know Ansible right? Well, this works kind of the same way, except you create tasks to automate your local computer.

How? You're in luck. Just create an InstructionSet (you can use the CLI command tasker create to get started) and let your life get easier!

Installation

There are 2 ways of installation:

1. Via source files available at Gitlab.
2. Using Pip

Roadmap

This is a project I'm working on my free time, however I have some new Actions in mind I want to implement.
