Problem description

Hello fellows,

I am starting to get hooked on pixi :grin:

A minor feature request:

pixi run

lists the available tasks. This is the expected behavior coming from npm, pnpm.

Thanks!

I like this to! I prototyped a interactive pixi run. Looking something like:

> pixi run
Select the task you want to run:
  > build
  - test
  - lint
  - bla

What do you think about that?

@ruben-arts awesome!

And the task descriptions would be nice :-)

@ruben-arts nice!

I find the latter more readable myself.

what would be even more awesome is, if the list items also have their indices printed along and you can either choose them via cursor or just type the number and press enter.

I find the first option better as a list with right aligned values is not how usually a single column list is displayed in terminal

? Please select a task / task number to run: ›
   1.    build 
   2.    build-docs 
   3.    bump 
   4.    bump-changelog

Another idea for a library would be: https://github.com/lotabout/skim#use-as-a-library
