nx-run-tasks

Use nx run-many -t <task> to execute a task like build, test, or lint across multiple projects in parallel. Nx automatically discovers available targets from project.json and runs them efficiently across your workspace.

nx run executes a single target on one project; nx run-many runs a task across multiple projects; nx affected runs only on projects impacted by recent changes. Choose based on whether you need single-project, multi-project, or change-dependent execution.

Yes. Nx automates running configured targets like build, test, lint, and serve across projects. Define targets in project.json, then use nx commands with wrappers like npx, pnpx, or yarn to execute them consistently.

Nx reads project.json or package.json in each project to determine available targets and their options. This metadata-driven discovery lets you execute any configured task without manual specification.

No. If Nx is already in your workspace, use npx, pnpx, or yarn as wrappers to invoke nx run, nx run-many, or nx affected commands directly from your terminal.

Yes. Use nx run-many with project filters or nx run on a specific project to target execution. nx affected further narrows scope by running only on projects changed since a reference point.
