How to run multiple mix tasks in one command

I have multiple mix tasks to run in succession. With other build tools, it is possible to run the tasks with a single statement, which saves any startup overhead after the first task. How can this be done with Elixir's mix command?

Comma-separate the list of tasks, and add them to mix do: mix do task1, task2, task3:

mix do deps.get, run hello.exs, ecto.migrate

For example, the above runs the tasks deps.get, run hello.exs, and ecto.migrate within one invocation of mix.

You can put an aliases in mix.exs and use it.

Eg: "ecto.setup": ["ecto.create", "ecto.migrate", "ecto.seed"] in this case mix ecto.setup will run create, migrate and seed in order
