Deno Task Manager

Manage and run Deno tasks directly from the VS Code sidebar. Pin tasks into groups, track execution status, and organise your workflow with drag-and-drop.

Features

Pinned Tasks

Create named groups and pin your most-used Deno tasks to them. Tasks are persisted in your workspace settings so they survive restarts.

• Run / Stop tasks with a single click
• Drag and drop to reorder tasks within a group or move them between groups
• Rename tasks to give them a friendlier display label without touching deno.json
• Group management — create, rename, and delete groups
• Status indicators — live running / finished / failed / initialising badges on each task

Deno Tasks

Browse all Deno tasks discovered across your workspace. Click a task to jump to its definition in deno.json / deno.jsonc. Drag tasks from this view into a Pinned Tasks group.

Usage

1. Open a workspace that contains a deno.json or deno.jsonc file — the extension activates automatically.
2. In the Task Manager sidebar, use the Pinned Tasks view to create groups and pin tasks.
3. Click ▶ Run Task to execute a task in a dedicated terminal.
4. Click ⏹ Stop Task to send a SIGINT to the running process.
