Installation

Workflow

Rushfile

Here is an example rushfile.yml. It needs to reside in the root directory:

# rushfile.yml

task_1: |
    echo "task1 is running"

task_2: |
    # Task chaining [task_1 is a dependency of task_2]
    task_1
    echo "task2 is running"

task_3: |
    ls -a
    sudo apt-get install cowsay | head -n 0
    cowsay "Around the world in 80 days!"

//task_4: |
    # Ignoring a task [task_4 will be ignored while execution]
    ls | grep "ce"
    ls > he.txt1

task_5: |
    # Running a bash script from rush
    ./script.sh

Running Tasks

• Run all the tasks

  $ rush --all
  

• Run specific tasks

  $ rush task_1 task_4
  

• Ignore specific tasks

  See the example rushfile.yml where the '//' before a task name means that the task will be ignored during execution

  # rushfile.yml
  
  //task_4: |
      echo "This task will be ignored during execution."
  

  This ignores the task named //task_4.

• Run tasks non interactively (supress the outputs)

  $ rush --hide-outputs
  

• Run tasks ignoring errors

  $ rush --ignore-errors
  

• Do not run the dependent tasks

  $ rush task_2 --no-deps
  

Viewing Tasks

• View absolute path of rushfile.yml

  $ rush --path
  

  output,

  /home/rednafi/code/rush/rushfile.yml
  

• View task commands

  $ rush task_5 task_6 task_7 --view-tasks
  

  

• View task list with dependencies

  $ rush -ls
  

Quirks

• Rush runs all the commands using /usr/bin/bash. So shell specific syntax with other shebangs might throw error.

• If you are running Bash script from rush, use shebang (#!/usr/bin/env bash)
