Shorten and hand ups notes with information taken mostly from the main website.

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:

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

A few useful commands:

task

task add The lovely task to do
task add The lovely task to do project:bigproject.subtask due:1978-05-12

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:

task add The lovely task to do project:bigproject.subtask due:eod

where “eod = end of day”, eow, eom eoy can be used as well.

Easiest is to complete it by number, such as:

task 1 done

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

task 15 delete

task completed
