VCSTodo 0.1

Text based but human and VCS friendly task manager

VCSTODO: a human and VCS friendly text based task manager

VCSTODO is a CLI program in the same spirit as Todotxt and many others.

It’s in dev, unstable, and with absolutly no garanty it currently works or will ever do. It’s just something I do as an experiment.

Features

• Add tasks (content, and tags for now)

• List and filter tasks (by tags, status, then order and limit)

• Mark a task as todo or done

The main benefit of vcstodo compared to the other projects:

• Tags

• (Very) Human friendly task file format

• One file per task, one directory for done tasks, one for todo task: it’s designed to be commited in your VCS

• Multiuser suport (weak, but plan to improve)

• Planning for comments

Setup

There is no pypi entry, but you can install it doing:

pip install git+git://repo

Usage

At your project root:

tdo init

Add a task:

tdo add "This is a very important task"
tdo add "A task with tags" --tags "stuff, that, matters"

List tasks:

tdo lst
tdo
tdo --status done --withtags "stuff"

Mark task as done:

tdo check 1

1 should be the task number given by tdo lst

Mark task as todo:

tdo uncheck 1

Use –help with any command to learn about options.

Plans

Do not count on it. It’s just noted as a reminder for me. The project could die tomorrow.
