tasktogo
is a command-line todo list manager designed for both
interactive and script-based use. It has support for due dates and
varying priorities of tasks, and is capable of ranking tasks by
urgency, (which is calculated considering both the nearness of due
date and priority). For those who like rainbows, it can also colorize
output.
Primarily, it is designed for single users, rather than teams. Tasks
are represented in a simple JSON format, and can be accessed
either directly (as a text file) or via tasktogo
's interfaces, which
are suitable for scripting.
It is written in pure Go.
tasktogo
is not yet packaged for any operating system or
distribution, but should be capable of functioning on any UNIX-alike,
and maybe even Windows.
If you have Go installed already, then you can do either of the following. If not, you will need to install it first.
For a full installation with manpage on UNIX-alikes:
git clone https://github.com/SashaCrofter/tasktogo.git
cd tasktogo
go get
make
sudo make install
For a source and binary-only install on any system with Go:
go install github.com/SashaCrofter/tasktogo.git
By default, the included Makefile installs tasktogo
and its
resources (such as the manpage) to /usr/local
, but this can be
changed by prepending prefix=/usr
(for example) to the make install
command. In this case, then, the executable will go to
/usr/bin
and so on.
It is worth nothing that one should not invoke with prefix=
with no
argument, because then resources will not go to the correct directory.
The default compile command used is go build
, with some flags used
to set the version automatically. If one wants to use a different
compiler or set of flags, one can prepend GOCOMPILER=gccgo
(for
example) to the make
command.
Note that in the compiled binary, the version number will only reflect the lated tagged commit, rather than a verbose descriptor including the current commit ID.
See the man page (if installed) via man tasktogo
, or otherwise,
tasktogo -h
will provide some help.
tasktogo
is hopelessly early-stage software, made primarily for its
author's use. Bug reports and feature requests are greatly
appreciated, and should both be made to the issues page, or to the

When filing a bug report, please include the first line of output of
