One way to store this information as part of your YAML files is to write a task run directly. This file will be used as a template to create your task runs. Let's see how to do this:

    kind: TaskRun 
  2. In the metadata section of this object description, you could potentially specify a name for the task run. A unique name would mean that you would need to change the name each time you want to create a new task run, though. Instead, you will use the generateName...
