<!-- If this is a particularly complex change or feature addition, you
can request a dedicated Nx release for this pull request branch. Mention
someone from the Nx team or the `@nrwl/nx-pipelines-reviewers` and they
will confirm if the PR warrants its own release for testing purposes,
and generate it for you if appropriate. -->
## Current Behavior
There is no option to exclude dependent tasks when running Nx.
## Expected Behavior
There is a flag, `--exclude-task-dependencies`, to exclude task deps
from running. This is inline with other tools:
- [dotnet
cli](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/tools/dotnet-build#:~:text=%2D%2Dno%2D-,dependencies,-Ignores%20project%2Dto)
