eagle-cli 0.3

Simple TODO tool for CLI.

Eagle is a simple CLI todo tool. It’s so simple it hurts my coding skills.

How does it work?

~ eagle

Today:
    4. brush yo teeth

Your list:

   1. do the laundry (every week)
   2. buy some food (each other day)
   3. buy presents (on 24th December)
   4. do the homework [School]

How can I install it?

Don’t worry about the early version number 0.x. I tend to Semantic Verioning more than to “Marketing Versioning”. That means version 0.5 is quite solid piece of software instead or having version 25 and still not-even-half-way there.

So:

pip install eagle-todo

You might need to use pip3 instead if you run Python 2 next to Python 3.

Requirements

• Python 3.6+

Parameters

Tasks

-a, –add

Example:

~ eagle -a "make yo bed" 1day  # Adds todo for each day

~ eagle -a "make yo dog bed" # Adds todo without specific deadline or recurring
~ eagle -a "make yo dog bed ... someday" @20/1/2050 dog # Adds todo on 20th January 2050 to the "dog" group
~ eagle -a "make yo dog bed groupped" - dog # Adds todo to the "dog" group - notice the "-" as a date.

Why CLI?

CLI is the best UI ever invented. It’s fast, clean, bloat free and you dont have to invest massive effort to make your software looks good. Also you don’t have to rewrite or modernize each year (see web apps).

Also you can easily parse the output and chain that into your window manager widget if you want to (i.e. AwesomeWM).

Why GitLab?

It’s hard to explain. It’s one of those “once you switch you don’t look back” things. Try it yourself.

Isn’t this just another copycat?

There is a few project around which are pretty good. For example TaskWarrior which is robust and covers pretty much everything. For me it’s too heavy and fancy with all the charts and tables. I want something more quiet and more straightforward.

Can I contribute?

Absolutely! I would be more than happy to accept any bug-report, improvement, pull request, constructive criticism, etc.
