Mix And Hex The Power Couple Of The Elixir Community
summary
Shows how mix tasks are implemented (module name, shortdoc, run/1) and how the mix CLI loads config, ensures Hex, and uses a task server to avoid repeating compile work. Explains the Hex resolver heuristic (top-level preference then fewest transitive deps), demonstrates local docs with mix hex.docs offline, and recommends running mix hex audit and mix hex.outdated. Adds package diffs for exact changes and upcoming web diffs plus two‑factor auth.
