Configuring citrus-cli

Before you can utilize citrus-cli's task management features, you must configure it by creating a citrus-config.toml file. Start by creating a file in your project root directory called citrus-config.toml. Complete the file so that it looks like this:

[config]
task_directory = "path/to/desired/directory"

Save the file and now you may use citrus-cli.

Creating a task

Create a task by setting up a YAML file. Tasks are a list of jobs that can be represented in the following format

- name: JobName
  command: "command"

You may list as many of these as you want in your file. You may name the YAML file anything you want.

To create the task simply run the following command

citrus-cli create [task name] [file path to YAML file]

TaskName can be whatever you wish to name the task. task.yaml is the file path to the YAML file you will use to set up the task

You will notice citrus-cli output a JSON file. This file is important as it contains all of the task information.
