+# Remote Taskfiles
+
+<AuthorCard :author="$frontmatter.author" />
+
+It's finally time! After nearly 3 years as an experiment, we're excited to
+announce that today, [remote Taskfiles][remote-taskfiles] have been made
+generally available. No more setting flags or config to enable it. It is enabled
+by default and will continue to work seamlessly with your existing remote
+taskfiles.
+
+[remote-taskfiles]: ../docs/remote-taskfiles.md

+
+## How did we get here?
+
+We'll be the first to admit that it's taken a long time to get this stable, but
+there's good reason for it. Remote taskfiles was the most upvoted feature
+request and we wanted to get it right. Experiments allowed us to iterate slowly
+and implement feedback without having to worry about releasing something that we
+couldn't take back later.
+
+We received a ton of feedback from you on the main issue thread and we're very
+grateful for all the comments and suggestions as you've patiently waited for
+something stable to land.
+
+No substantial changes have been made to the API recently and the stream of
+feedback has now slowed, so we feel that the time is right to move forwards with
+it.
+
+## How do I use it?
+
+We are aware that, despite the stability warnings, many of you are already using
+remote taskfiles in production today. So, you'll be happy to hear that you do
+not need to change anything going forwards! Once you've updated to the latest
+version of Task (v3.53.0+), remote taskfiles will be enabled by default and you
+can remove any config/flags that you previously used to enable it in your own
+time.
+
+If you are still using an environment variable/flag/config to enable it, you may
+see a small warning appear that lets you know that this is no longer necessary.
+
+For those that haven't used it before, here's a little taste of what you're now
+able to do:
+
+### Using a remote Taskfile as an entrypoint
+
+By default, Task will look for one of the supported file names on your local
+filesystem. If you want to use a remote file instead, you can pass its URI into
+the `--taskfile`/`-t` flag just like you would to specify a different local
+file. For example:
+
+::: code-group
+
+```shell [HTTP/HTTPS]
+$ task --taskfile https://raw.githubusercontent.com/go-task/task/main/website/src/public/Taskfile.yml
+task: [hello] echo "Hello Task!"
+Hello Task!
+```
+
+```shell [Git over HTTP]
+$ task --taskfile https://github.com/go-task/task.git//website/src/public/Taskfile.yml?ref=main
+task: [hello] echo "Hello Task!"
+Hello Task!
+```
+
+```shell [Git over SSH]
+$ task --taskfile git@github.com/go-task/task.git//website/src/public/Taskfile.yml?ref=main
+task: [hello] echo "Hello Task!"
+Hello Task!
+```
+
+:::
+
+For testing purposes, we host an example Taskfile at
+[taskfile.dev/Taskfile.yml](https://taskfile.dev/Taskfile.yml) that you can use
+to try this out. This is useful to check that your installation of task is
+working.
+
+```shell
+$ task --taskfile https://taskfile.dev/Taskfile.yml
+# Or for short
+$ task -t https://taskfile.dev
+```
+
+### Including remote Taskfiles
+
+Including a remote file works exactly the same way that including a local file
+does. You just need to replace the local path with a remote URI. Any tasks in
+the remote Taskfile will be available to run from your main Taskfile.
+
+::: code-group
+
+```yaml [HTTP/HTTPS]
+version: '3'
+
+includes:
+  my-remote-namespace: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/go-task/task/main/website/src/public/Taskfile.yml
+```
+
+```yaml [Git over HTTP]
+version: '3'
+
+includes:
+  my-remote-namespace: https://github.com/go-task/task.git//website/src/public/Taskfile.yml?ref=main
+```
+
+```yaml [Git over SSH]
+version: '3'
+
+includes:
+  my-remote-namespace: git@github.com/go-task/task.git//website/src/public/Taskfile.yml?ref=main
+```
+
+:::
+
+```shell
+$ task my-remote-namespace:hello
+task: [hello] echo "Hello Task!"
+Hello Task!
+```
