{
    "folders":
    [
        {
            "path": ".",
            "folder_exclude_patterns": [".idea", ".vscode"],
            "file_exclude_patterns": [".gitignore", ".gitattributes", ".gitmodules", ".firebaserc"]
        }
    ],
    "settings":
    {
        "tab_size": 4
    },
    "Run Task.tasks": 
    [
        {
            "name": "Run Unit Tests",
            "type": "shell",
            "command": "./Tests/run_unit_tests.sh",
            "windows": {
                "command": "wsl",
                "args": "./Tests/run_unit_tests.sh"
            }
        },
        {
            "name": "Start Local Web Server",
            "type": "shell",
            "command": "osascript",
            "args": "-e 'tell app \"Terminal\" to activate' -e 'tell app \"Terminal\" to do script \"cd ${cwd} && ./Debug/run-http-server.sh\"'",
            "windows": {
                "command": "cmd",
                "args": "/C start cmd /K .\\\\Debug\\\\run-http-server.cmd"
            },
            "show_output_panel": false
        },
        {
            "name": "Generate Docs",
            "type": "shell",
            "command": "./Source/scripts/generate_docs.sh",
            "windows": {
                "command": "wsl",
                "args": "./Source/scripts/generate_docs.sh"
            }
        }
    ]
}

Apart from shell commands, Run Task also supports running Sublime Text window commands. For example, for a task that launches a terminal, one may want to use a open_terminal_project_folder window command from Terminal package. This can be achieved with the following task definition:

{
    "name": "Start Local Web Server",
    "type": "sublime",
    "command": "open_terminal_project_folder",
    "args": {
        "parameters": ["/C", ".\\Debug\\run-http-server.cmd"]
    }
}

That's all there is to it. You can now conveniently access your custom tasks from anywhere in your project, either by running Run Task command from command palette, or using a key binding.
