The native tool is for running commands on bare metal, however, there’s some flexibility to run commands in varying environments. It looks like this in a task definition:
{
"exec": {
"native": {},
"darwin": {}, # AKA, OSX
"freebsd": {},
"linux": {},
"openbsd": {},
"win32": {},
"native-nix": {},
"native-win": {}
}
}
If the command you need to run will work universally, it’s a good idea
to use the “native” tool, however there are a few things that may not
“just work” everywhere. For example, rm -rf folder doesn’t work in
windows where it’s just rmdir folder. You can define these both:
{
"exec": {
"native-nix": {
"command": ["rm","-rf","folder"]
},
"native-win": {
"command": ["rmdir","folder"]
}
}
}
This allows your tasks to run cross-platform without too much hassle.
tyche will choose the more specific native command. If darwin and
native-nix is defined, and tyche is being run on osx, it will choose
darwin instead of native-nix.
Here are the keys/values that the native tool responds to:
