DataFusion xtask

This directory contains DataFusion's project automation implemented using the xtask pattern.

Usage

Run the following command from the repository root for the available commands, arguments, and examples:

cargo xtask help

CI runner

cargo xtask ci [args] domain is used for organizing commands used in GitHub CI.

For example, cargo xtask ci step test workspace runs DataFusion's default CI test suite. Developers can run the same command to reproduce that GitHub Actions step locally. Append --explain to display the underlying command without running it.

The goal is to keep local development and GitHub CI runs in sync. Each CI step command is defined once in this in-repository Rust binary and is invoked the same way locally and in GitHub Actions.
