nx-run-tasks

Running build and test tasks for a single project in an Nx workspace involves executing single-project commands that target specific build, test, lint, or serve configurations defined in your project.json.

Running multiple build and lint tasks across an Nx monorepo is achieved through run-many orchestration, which executes configured targets across all apps and libs simultaneously to eliminate repetitive commands.

To run affected tasks to test only changed projects in an Nx workspace, you use affected-style workflows that analyze project dependencies and execute build, test, lint, or serve commands solely on impacted apps and libs.

You need project.json files or compatible target configurations to run Nx tasks in your monorepo, as the task orchestration relies on these definitions to execute build, test, lint, and serve commands.

You cannot use this to generate code or set up new projects in an Nx workspace, as task execution specifically excludes code generation and manual workspace configuration to keep operations safe and focused.
