dependsOn confusion

[geoffreydhuyvetters]

Let's say I have this turbo.json

{
  "$schema": "https://turborepo.org/schema.json",
  "baseBranch": "origin/main",
  "pipeline": {
    "dev": { "cache": false },
    "build": {
      "dependsOn": ["^build", "lint"],
      "outputs": [".next/**"]
    },
    "start": {
      "cache": false,
      "dependsOn": ["lint", "build"]
    },
    "lint": {}
  }
}

I'm a bit confused with dependsOn.

I want my project to only build when the lint scripts are finished, and I want to start the server when everything is built (meaning it's also linted).

Do I define all scripts / pipelines that need to be finished in every dependsOn Array for every pipeline, or can I create sequences (for start, build needs to be finished, build contains the lint step)?

How do I approach this? Is the turbo.json file I provided correct?

And what is the difference between running npx turbo run lint build start & npx turbo run start, which also seems to pick up the correct steps in the process?
