Using npm, one can define scripts inside of package.json that can be easily called like

npm run <script-name>

It is very handy to compile/start/lint the project

How are we suppposed to do this with Nimble when using Nim lang?

Found the way, it is called tasks.

You can define any in your .nimble file (nimble init) like this

task greet, "Print a greeting message":
  exec "echo Hello!"

You can then call

nimble greet

If environment variable XDG_CONFIG_HOME is defined, $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/nim/config.nims or ~/.config/nim/config.nims (POSIX) or %APPDATA%/nim/config.nims (Windows). This file can be skipped with the --skipUserCfg command line option.

$parentDir/config.nims where $parentDir stands for any parent directory of the project file's path. These files can be skipped with the --skipParentCfg command line option.

$projectDir/config.nims where $projectDir stands for the project's path. This file can be skipped with the --skipProjCfg command line option.

A project can also have a project-specific configuration file named $project.nims that resides in the same directory as $project.nim. This file can be skipped with the same --skipProjCfg command line option.

    Please see [how do I format my posts](/help/formatting) and format them correctly. This is rather difficult to read at the moment. – Adriaan Nov 29 '22 at 09:39
