Rivet

Rivet - Minimal Task.

Usage

Rivet is built specifically for advanced workflows and minimalist environments. Unlike the upstream Task project, it strips out non-essential overhead to focus strictly on performance and reliable task execution.

For extensive documentation or community-driven support, please refer to the upstream Task project.
