README
todo.c
------
Command line lightweight todo tool with readable storage, written in C.
Latest version: v0.2.6
Installation
------------
make install
This command will install `todo` to `$HOME/bin` and the manual page to
`$HOME/man/man1`.
If you want to install into some other place than `$HOME`, invoke `make`
with a prefix or edit the `Makefile`:
make PREFIX=/usr/local install
Usage
-----
*Note*: todo will **always** use `./todo.txt` prior to `~/todo.txt` for persistent storage.
```
Usage:
todo [-h|-v|-a]
todo ( [done|undo|remove])|...
Examples:
add a task - todo Go shopping
check a task - todo 1 done
undo a task - todo 1 undo
remove a task - todo 1 rm/remove
list undo tasks - todo
list all tasks - todo --all
clear done tasks - todo clean/cleanup
clear all tasks - todo clear
```
See also the Unix manual page:
man todo
Storage
-------
todo will always use `./todo.txt` prior to `~/todo.txt` for persistent storage, if there is a `todo.txt` in current directory, `todo` will use it, else `todo` will try to find `~/todo.txt`, if it doesn't exist, `todo` touches an empty file `~/todo.txt`.
So when your are not in home directory, to new a todo, just:
$ touch todo.txt
The storage format is readable, it's the [GitHub Flavored Markdown Task list](https://help.github.com/articles/basic-writing-and-formatting-syntax/#task-lists):
```markdown
- [x] Go shopping
- [ ] Clean the room
```
Manual
------
The manual is installed into `$(HOME)/man/man1` by default. Provided
your `man` command is configured correctly, invoking `man todo` should
show it.
```bash
make todo.1
man ./todo.1
```
FAQ
---
- Why C language? - I just want to write some C code that time.
- Why not only `~/todo.txt`? - I need different todos for different projects.
- What is this tool created for? - I can manage tasks in my terminal, and read it anywhere(for instance, on github.com).
