I'm trying to work out how to print a list of all available grunt tasks. With rake it would be:
$ rake -T
What's the equivalent for grunt? e.g.
$ grunt -T
- concat
- jasmine
- minify

grunt --help lists available tasks.

4ha! I completely missed that, saw the top section of commands but didn't notice the tasks were listed at the bottom...– opsbCommented Feb 21, 2013 at 20:09

2@tJener how to you list the tasks of a multi task:
grunt multi:task0,multi:task1, etc.? Commented Jun 15, 2014 at 13:56 -

3@CiroSantilli I maintain a separate task listing module github.com/ben-eb/grunt-available-tasks which prints a task list, with multi-task targets, and without all of the noise that
grunt --helpgenerates. You might like to use it for now as a stop-gap, bearing in mind that it's been over a year since I first released it and still no option within grunt to hide tasks, etc.– BenCommented Dec 15, 2014 at 11:03
Workaround for the list in sh/bash in case you need to trigger something and can't modify the original code:
grunt -h --no-color | sed -n '/^Available tasks/,/^$/ {s/^ *\([^ ]\+\) [^ ]\+.*$/\1/p}'

@gotofritz did you use single quotes? Double quotes have a different meaning check you sed documention otherwise. In case you use MacOs, it uses a different version of sed with a slightly different syntax.– estaniCommented Feb 3, 2016 at 8:51

Yes, I was on OS X. But don't worry about it, I hardly use grunt these days anyway :-) Commented Feb 5, 2016 at 17:26
