Introduction

---

After cloning a project, Install Pixi and Pixi makes it simple to run predefined tasks. If your pixi.toml (or pyproject.toml) contains a task named start, you can execute it directly using:

BASH

gh repo clone priya-gitTest/greet_me && cd greet_me
curl -fsSL https://pixi.sh/install.sh | sh

If required, restart your shell:

BASH

source ~/.bashrc

Verify that Pixi has been installed correctly.

BASH

pixi --version

Now run

BASH

pixi run start

OUTPUT

✨ Pixi task (start): python -c 'from greet_me1 import happy; print(happy.greet_happy())'
Yay! happy day! 😀

This command will: - Ensure that the required environment is installed (creating or updating it if necessary). - Run the start task exactly as defined in your configuration file.

This provides a convenient and reproducible way to launch your project without needing to manually manage dependencies or commands. You can check the example project here

Key Points
