Predefined Tasks

TestCentric.Cake.Recipe provides a number of predefined tasks for use. They may be used directly on the command-line or indirectly by use of IsDependentOn in your build.cake file.

The following is a complete list of the tasks defined in the recipe in alphabetical order. If you're just getting started, this may be a bit complicated so focus on the most commonly used tasks, displayed in bold.
