+# Initialize New Taskfile For A Project
+
+I'm adding [Taskfile](https://taskfile.dev/) to my [`py-vmt`
+project](https://github.com/jbranchaud/py-vmt) to add clear, "documented with
+code" ways of running the linter, formatter, type-checker, and tests. To get
+started I need a `Taskfile.yml` file where I can define each of these tasks.
+Instead of creating that file from scratch, the `task` utility has an `--init`
+flag that will scaffold one for me.
+
+```bash
+❯ task --init
+Taskfile created: Taskfile.yml
+
+❯ cat Taskfile.yml
+# https://taskfile.dev
+
+version: '3'
+
+vars:
+  GREETING: Hello, World!
+
+tasks:
+  default:
+    cmds:
+      - echo "{{.GREETING}}"
+    silent: true
+
+❯ task
+Hello, World!
+```
+
+This is a useful starting point because it declares both a variable and a
+default task. From there I can start defining the actual tasks I need for my
+project. For that I will either reference the docs on [Adding a build
+task](https://taskfile.dev/docs/getting-started#adding-a-build-task) or copy
+some lines from either my [TIL
+taskfile](https://github.com/jbranchaud/til/blob/master/Taskfile.yml) or
+[dotfiles
+taskfile](https://github.com/jbranchaud/dotfiles/blob/main/Taskfile.dist.yml).
