grunt:tldr:00488

grunt: Specify an additional directory to scan for tasks in.
$ grunt --tasks ${path-to-directory}
try on your machine

This command is specific to the Grunt task runner, a JavaScript-based build tool.

The grunt --tasks command is used to display the available tasks in a Grunt project. It lists all the registered tasks and their corresponding configuration files.

However, the command you provided also includes ${path-to-directory} which indicates a placeholder for the actual path to the directory containing Grunt tasks. The exact purpose of this placeholder would depend on the context where this command is being used.

In practical usage, you would replace ${path-to-directory} with the actual path to the directory that contains your Grunt task files. For example, if your Grunt tasks are located in a folder called grunt-tasks within the root directory of your project, you would use:

grunt --tasks ./grunt-tasks

This command would then display the available tasks within the specified directory, enabling you to see all the tasks you can execute with Grunt in your project.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
