solop 1.0.0

A command line tool for generating and maintaining project development tasks

SoloP

SoloP will be a tool that can be used to manage a Solo Developers tasks when working on small projects. Users can collect tasks into categories like "Done", "In Progress" or "To Do" and SoloP will generate a markdown file laying them out in a user-friendly way.

Current Version: Version 1.0.0

Example

Using SoloP will help you automatically manage a SOLOP.md file:

SOLOP.md:

# PROJECT NAME

## BACKLOG

- [1]: Task to do

## IN PROGRESS

- [2]: Task currently in progress

## DONE

- [3]: Task completed

Using SoloP

As of Version 1 SoloP is only accessible by the CLI. Tasks can be added, deleted and managed by executing solop from the command line.

Actions

Calling solop with no flags will update the SOLOP.md file with any unsaved changes.

Note: Including the --xmake flag in any action will not publish the action to the SOLOP.md file, but the action will be visible next time the file is made.

Action	Flag	Description
Add Task	--add [Description]	Adds a task to the Backlog with [Description]. Tasks are added with a priority of 1 by default.
Delete Task	--delete [Task ID(s)]	Deletes the specified tasks
Change Status	--status [Status] [Task ID(s)]	Moves the specified tasks into the [Status] section
Nest Task	--nest [Child] [Parent]	Nests [Child] task under the [Parent] task. Note: If the tasks are of different statuses, they will appear un-nested in their respective sections. Nesting will occur again when both tasks are re-united.
Un-nest Task	--xchild [Child]	Un-nests the [Child] task from all parents. Include the --inherit flag to move all [Child]'s children to any parents. When not included all children tasks follow [Child]
Change Priority	--priority [Priority] [Task ID(s)]	Changes the priority of the given tasks. All tasks are sorted in their respective sections/nests by priority.
