TaskMan is a convenient CLI application that allows you to manage your everyday tasks in the form of a to-do list.
Current version: 0.3.0
- CLI is old school.
- Improves typing speed.
- You look like a hacker!
TaskMan is designed to be intuitive and easy-to-use. See some examples below, all of which should be pretty self-explanatory:
If you wish to study all available commands and command line flags, run taskman --help or access the help file in the repository. You can also obtain short help for a specific command by running taskman <commandname> --help.
> taskman add remember the milk --priority critical --due tomorrow
> taskman add pay bills --due 'this month'
> taskman show --like milk --orderby isfinished+desc-
> taskman show --skip 100 --limit 10
> taskman config sortorder priority+id+
> taskman delete --id 1,2,10 priority Important
> taskman reopen --like 'change tires'
> taskman delete --all --interactive
TaskMan requires at least Microsoft .NET 4.5, or Mono Runtime 4.0.0 to run.
The installation is pretty straightforward - just extract/copy the contents of the latest release into a directory on your machine, cd into that directory, then:
- In Windows / .NET environment, run TaskMan.exe;
- Using Mono, run 'mono TaskMan.exe';
For OSX / Linux users: if you want to run TaskMan from any working directory, two bash scripts (named taskman_install and taskman) are included in the release for that purpose. taskman_install creates/appends your ~/.bash_profile file so as to add the location of TaskMan to PATH. The second script can then be called from any working directory in the shell: it simply wraps the mono TaskMan.exe command to save you some typing. It uses whatever Mono version is returned by which mono.
Unfortunately, Windows users currently have to modify their PATH themselves (if they want to run TaskMan from anywhere), but I presume anyone using a command line todo list is perfectly capable of doing so.
TaskMan follows semantic versioning. No version until 1.0.0 can be considered 'stable' with regards to the program's functionality or public interface. It doesn't mean that the program isn't already cool as it is!
