pueue-group allows users to manage tasks within specific, named groups. This is an extension of the pueue task manager, providing finer-grained control over job execution beyond the standard queue structure.

Groups offer a logical separation of tasks, enabling you to start, stop, pause, and display jobs belonging to a particular category. This is useful for prioritizing different projects, dedicating resources to specific types of workloads, or simply improving the organization of a large number of queued tasks.

By creating groups with descriptive names, users gain a clear overview of active and pending tasks. This makes managing complex workflows simpler and more intuitive than dealing with a flat queue.

1. Create groups for different projects: pueue group add project_a, pueue group add project_b

2. Add tasks to specific groups: pueue add --group project_a 'long_running_task_1', pueue add --group project_b 'build_project_b'

3. Start all tasks in a group: pueue start --group project_a

4. List all groups: pueue group list

pueue(1), pueue-add(1), pueue-start(1), pueue-pause(1)
