====== Task management with Taswarrior ======

Shorten and hand ups notes with information taken mostly from the [[https://taskwarrior.org/docs/|main website]].


====== INSTALLATION ======

NOTA: standard installation works if the uuid libraries are installed. At time of writing:
  sudo apt-get install uuid-dev librust-core-foundation+uuid-dev librust-uuid-dev

Rest of the installation goes smooth:

<code>
git clone https://github.com/GothenburgBitFactory/taskwarrior.git taskwarrior.git
cd taskwarrior.git
git checkout stable
cmake -S . -B build -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
cmake --build build
</code>

====== BASIC USAGE ======

A few useful commands: 

====== Show tasks in the To-Do list ======

<code>
task
</code>

====== Add a new task ======

<code>
task add The lovely task to do
task add The lovely task to do project:bigproject.subtask due:1978-05-12
</code>
the first version is a simple add to the list, the second one is using project/sub-project management. Other arguments can be added like "priority:H" (H for High, M for Medium, L for Low). 

Due date can be provided as shorthand as well in the form of:
<code>
task add The lovely task to do project:bigproject.subtask due:eod
</code>
where "eod = end of day", eow, eom eoy can be used as well. 

====== Complete a task ======

Easiest is to complete it by number, such as:
<code>
task 1 done
</code>

====== Remove a task a task ======

This is when you make a mistake, remove the task is different from complete it, it makes it disappear. 

<code>
task 15 delete
</code>

====== Show completed tasks ======
<code>
task completed
</code>
