Tasks

A small C program for keeping track of tasks and todo's. Tasks works similarily to git meaning that you initilise it inside a folder and tasks creates a .task file inside that folder to store the tasks in. This file is then used for all sub folders of the directory tasks was initilised in.

Install

To install tasks compile the program using make then move the binary tasks into your path.

Usage

tasks init

Before you can add any tasks you first have to initialise tasks with the command tasks init. Doing this creates the file .tasks, in which all of your tasks get stored in a simple file format of 1 task per line. Once tasks has been initilised inside a folder any further commands from this folder or any sub folder will effect this .tasks file. tasks determins which .tasks file to edit but climbing up the current working directorys path until it encounters a .tasks file. This means that you can have sub .tasks files.

tasks add <arg>

Add a task to tasks, eg:

tasks add "Clean up these files and implement that new feature"

tasks list

List all tasks currently added.

tasks count

Gives a count of the number of tasks in the current file.

tasks rm <arg>
