As vim 8.0 was released in 2017, we have got many wonderful plugins like LSP, DAP, and asynchronous linters. Even things like vimspector which could only be imagined in emacs in the past, now become reality in vim. However, vim is still lack of an elegant task system to speed up your inner software development cycle (edit, compile, test). A lot of people are still dealing with those building, testing, and deploying tasks in such a primitive or flaky way. Therefore, I decided to create this plugin and introduce vscode's task like mechanisms to vim. Vscode creates a .vscode folder in your project root directory and uses a .vscode/tasks.json file to define project-specific tasks. Similar, asynctasks.vim uses a .tasks file in your project folders for local tasks and use ~/.vim/tasks.ini to define global tasks for generic projects. This is very simple, but most good designs always start from a very simple concept. You will benefit a lot from the productivity and possibility of this task system. Quick start: https://github.com/skywind3000/asynctasks.vim

copy asynctasks.vim to ~/.vim/plugin or install it from: https://github.com/skywind3000/asynctasks.vim requirements: - asyncrun 2.4.0 or above - vim 8.1 / neovim 0.3
