Hacking Task Graphs
-------------------
The recommended process for changing task graphs is this:
-1. Find a recent decision task on the project or branch you are working on,
- and download its ``parameters.yml`` from the Task Inspector or you can
- simply take note of the ``URL`` of the file or the ``task-id``. This file
- contains all of the inputs to the task-graph generation process. Its
- contents are simple enough if you would like to modify it, and it is
- documented in :doc:`parameters`.

- generate a baseline against which to measure your changes. For example:

.. code-block:: none
./mach taskgraph tasks --json -p parameters.yml > old-tasks.json
./mach taskgraph tasks --json -p url/to/parameters.yml > old-tasks.json
./mach taskgraph tasks --json -p task-id=<task-id> > old-tasks.json
3. Make your modifications under ``taskcluster/``.
