Interactive selector

Run stackctl run with no task name to open a selector:

Tasks
Select a task to run
❯ build    Build the binary
  fmt      Format code
  release  Build and tag a release

Tasks are sorted by name, and the text next to each is its desc. Add a desc to every task so the list is easy to scan.

Keys

Action	Key
Move	↑ ↓ or j k
First / last	g / G
Run	Enter
Cancel	Esc, q, Ctrl+C

Flags still apply

Flags work with the selector, so stackctl run -n previews the commands of whichever task you pick.

Non-interactive use

The selector needs a terminal. In CI or when input is piped, stackctl run without a task name prints an error. Pass the task name instead:

stackctl run build

Variables

A task picked from the selector uses the variables defined in the task file. To override a variable, run the task by name: stackctl run build APP=foo.
