nx run-many

Run one or more targets across multiple listed projects in the workspace.

nx run-many -t <targets> [options]

nx run-many executes one or more targets across a specified set of projects (or all projects when no project filter is provided). Unlike nx affected, it does not filter by git changes—it runs against every project you specify.

Options

Target selection

--targets · string · required

One or more targets to run. Alias: --target, -t. Accepts comma or space-separated values.

nx run-many -t build
nx run-many -t build test lint

--configuration · string

The named configuration to use when running the targets. Alias: -c.

Project selection

--projects · string

Comma or space-separated list of project names or patterns to include. Alias: -p. When omitted, the command runs against all projects in the workspace.

nx run-many -t build --projects=myapp,mylib
nx run-many -t test --projects="tag:scope:frontend"

--exclude · string

Comma-separated list of projects to exclude from the run.

Execution

--parallel · string

Maximum number of parallel task processes. Defaults to 3. Set to false to run serially. Can also be set via NX_PARALLEL.

--output-style · string

Controls how task output is displayed. Choices: tui, dynamic, dynamic-legacy, static, stream, stream-without-prefixes.

--nx-bail · boolean · default: "false"

Stop after the first failed task.

--nx-ignore-cycles · boolean · default: "false"

Ignore cycles in the task graph.

--skip-nx-cache · boolean · default: "false"

Rerun tasks even when results are available in the cache. Alias: --disable-nx-cache.

--skip-remote-cache · boolean · default: "false"

Disable the remote cache for this run. Alias: --disable-remote-cache.

--exclude-task-dependencies · boolean · default: "false"

Skip running dependent tasks first.

--skip-sync · boolean · default: "false"

Skip running sync generators associated with the tasks.

--batch · boolean

Run tasks in batches for executors that support batch execution.

--graph · string

Show the task graph instead of running it. Pass a file path to save to a file, or stdout to print to the terminal.

--runner · string

The tasks runner to use, as configured in nx.json.

--tui · boolean

Enable or disable the Nx Terminal UI. Conflicts with --output-style.

--tui-auto-exit · string

Whether to exit the TUI automatically after all tasks finish. Pass true to exit immediately, false to never auto-exit, or a number of seconds for a countdown.

--verbose · boolean

Print additional information about the command.

Examples

Build all projects in the workspace

nx run-many -t build

The --all flag is deprecated. Omitting --projects already runs against all projects in the workspace.

Running multiple targets

You can pass multiple targets at once. Nx resolves the full task graph and runs each target in the correct dependency order:

nx run-many -t build test lint --parallel=4

This runs all three targets for every project, respecting both dependsOn configuration and cross-project dependencies.
