Set up the configuration file:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
task
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Add a task:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
task add update linux
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
See which task is next:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
task next
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note the id number.
|
|
|
|
Mark a task as started:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
task start 1
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Once finished:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
task 1 done
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
# Projects
|
|
|
|
Add a project:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
task add project:house buy potted plant
|
|
task add proj:house.repair buy screwdriver
|
|
task add proj:house.repair buy shelf brackets
|
|
task add pro:house.paint buy white paint
|
|
task add pro:house.paint buy red paint
|
|
task add pro:house.paint buy black paint
|
|
task add pro:house.paint buy brushes
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Summary
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
task pro:house sum
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
task burndown.daily pro:house
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The summaries will show how fast a project is being completed, and when you can expect it to finish at the present rate.
|
|
|
|
# Tags
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
task add +buy toothbrush
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can then see only tasks which involve buying something with:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
task +buy
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
# Contexts
|
|
|
|
Set three contexts by their tags:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
task context define work +sa or +hr
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
task context define study +ed or +void or +rat
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
task context define home -sa -hr -ed -void -rat
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Change to the first context.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
task context work
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then stop.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
task context none
|
|
```

# User Defined Attributes
|
|
|
|
Make a UDA 'size'.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
task config uda.size.type string
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
task config uda.size.label Size
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
task config uda.size.values large,medium,small
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
uda.size.default=medium
|
|
```

# Tricks
|
|
|
|
This command shows tasks I'm most interested in:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
task next +ACTIVE or +OVERDUE or due:today or scheduled:today or pri:H
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The command is long, so `alias` is your friend.
