# Add Default Task To List All Tasks
|
||
|
||
One thing I like about [`just`](https://github.com/casey/just) is that if you
|
||
run `just` by itself, the default behavior is to list out all the commands it
|
||
can run.
|
||
|
||
[Taskfile](https://github.com/go-task/task) technically does this as well, but
|
||
with a warning at the end:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
❯ task
|
||
task: Available tasks for this project:
|
||
* notes: Interactive picker for notes tasks
|
||
* notes:diff: Show uncommitted changes in notes
|
||
* notes:edit: All-in-one edit, commit, and push notes
|
||
* notes:log: Show recent commit history for notes
|
||
* notes:open: Opens NOTES.md (syncs latest changes first) in default editor
|
||
* notes:push: Commit and push changes to notes submodule
|
||
* notes:status: Check status of notes submodule
|
||
* notes:sync: Sync latest changes from the notes submodule
|
||
task: Task "default" does not exist
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
I prefer to tidy this up a little by adding `task --list` as the _default_ in my
|
||
`Taskfile.yml`.
|
||
|
||
```yml
|
||
default:
|
||
desc: Show available commands
|
||
cmds:
|
||
- task --list
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Now when I run `task` with no arguments, I get this minutely nicer version:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
❯ task
|
||
Alias tip: t
|
||
task: [default] task --list
|
||
task: Available tasks for this project:
|
||
* default: Show available commands
|
||
* notes: Interactive picker for notes tasks
|
||
* notes:diff: Show uncommitted changes in notes
|
||
* notes:edit: All-in-one edit, commit, and push notes
|
||
* notes:log: Show recent commit history for notes
|
||
* notes:open: Opens NOTES.md (syncs latest changes first) in default editor
|
||
* notes:push: Commit and push changes to notes submodule
|
||
* notes:status: Check status of notes submodule
|
||
* notes:sync: Sync latest changes from the notes submodule
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Notice there is no `task: Task "default" does not exist` warning at the end.
