How to run multiple mix tasks in one command

Question

I have multiple mix tasks to run in succession. With other build tools, it is possible to run the tasks with a single statement, which saves any startup overhead after the first task. How can this be done with Elixir's mix command?

Answer 1

Comma-separate the list of tasks, and add them to mix do: mix do task1, task2, task3:

mix do deps.get, run hello.exs, ecto.migrate

For example, the above runs the tasks deps.get, run hello.exs, and ecto.migrate within one invocation of mix.
