Static context issues
As I understand it, once a task command is executed, its environment context cannot be changed. This means I can't set a global variable from a task, which introduces difficulties when running tasks that install software, update $PATH, or modify other environment variables.
I'm not sure what the workaround could be at this point. However, my main point is that it would be very helpful to have a shared environment between tasks....
Path to Taskfile from environment variable
It would be great to have the option to set the path to the Taskfile using an environment variable. This would be particularly useful in scenarios where the Taskfile is not located in the default path (e.g., Taskfile.yaml), allowing us to avoid specifying the path each time.
Running task fails in git hooks
We have a pre push git hook which will run the build task. When it is executed normally it works without any problem. But during pre push it throws the following error
"task: Failed to parse stdin
yaml: line 1: cannot unmarshal !!str into taskfile"
...
is there a way to give required variables check in the root level similar to the task level?
We have a use case where any task can be runnable only when common environment variables are available. Instead of setting them up in each task, is there an possibility to set it at root level?

Looking for advice - Rendering template files
Hi,
I'm wondering what would be the best approach to handle rendering a whole bunch of template files.
Having 1 folder containing many templates. Loading an env file for example and substitute all placeholders in these files to a location on fs.
I used to do something alike using jinja2 and ansible but I don't want to use ansible or python.
I'd just like to know if there is a smart way to do that using taskfile. Maybe leveraging go's sprig templating or the basic variable substitution with {{.EXAMPLE}} syntax , I'm not sure how to achieve that for many files....
sources with wildcards, can I run the command only for the modified files?
With the following code, every time a plantuml file changes, all plantuml is run for every
*.plantuml files I have. Is there a way to only run it for the files that actually changed?

I have a python project using task, and I try to use
