Summary

  • fix the Reading a Taskfile from stdin guide example that used task -t - <(cat ./Taskfile.yml)
  • replace it with task -t - < ./Taskfile.yml, which correctly passes stdin to Task when using -t -
  • keep the existing piped example (cat ./Taskfile.yml | task -t -) unchanged

Testing

  • verified the docs snippet now contains the corrected stdin redirection command:
    • rg -n "task -t - < ./Taskfile.yml|cat ./Taskfile.yml \| task -t -" website/src/docs/guide.md
  • note: task CLI is not installed in this runner, so executable command validation was not run locally
