On --list, have different colors per namespace / included Taskfile #1668
Description
Discussed in #824
This was originally asked for --list, but we could consider coloring the task name when running tasks as well.

For me, this would really help when
outputis set toprefixed.Maybe having a
colorkey on a task would be a good interface for users? Any task without a color would fallback to the default?betofigueiredo commentedon Feb 18, 2025
I know this idea involves color-coding namespaces when listing all tasks, but I've been thinking about creating groups to categorize tasks in the list. I currently do this manually with Makefiles, and it would be nice to have it here.
I implemented an example just to test:
The idea is to have a
groupfield:Let me know what you guys think.

@betofigueiredo This has been requested before. Is there any reason you can't use namespaces for logical sorting/grouping?
betofigueiredo commentedon Feb 19, 2025
I was thinking about something that could be implemented within a single file. However, in cases involving numerous tasks, it may be more practical to split them across different files. I looked for a similar feature request but couldn't find this one @pd93. Thanks for the reply.

@betofigueiredo FWIW, namespaces can be used without splitting into multiple files too. Just put a
:in the task name (E.g.deveplopment:start) and it should work the same way.
