task for dummies?
task documentation is pretty harsh for people who aren't so savvy. For example I was looking for a way to do a -ex in all the shells. I couldn't find a way and evntually gave up and just slapped a 'set -ex' about as needed. The other day I let an AI assistant muck with one of my taskfiles and it added essentially the long form of 'set: [e, x]' to the taskfile on its own accord. I see that set-and-shopt section on the website and it really doesn't give me any idea of that possibility.
A lot of things in task reference other code, like text/template and seem to assume a familiarity with them. But I'm honestly not very experienced with stuff. Where is the task for dummies? I would really like to see snippets, examples, cool frobnitz, and best practices. task info is really hard to track down.
