Hello, and welcome to Taskwarrior. This is the first of many tutorials, and covers first-time use. Let's start by talking about some important resources. # http//taskwarrior.org If you find you have any questions, you can get answers in several ways. The website has user forums, issue tracking and online documentation, including this tutorial. # IRC #taskwarrior You can join the Taskwarrior IRC channel to pose questions, or join in the discussion. # support@taskwarrior.org Or you can submit your request by email. The various support options are all volunteer-run. man task Finally, you have several man pages installed that contain all the written documentation, including this tutorial. --- As a first-time user, you are going to need a configuration file and a data directory. Taskwarrior will create both of these for you, in your home directory. The first time you run taskwarrior, you will be asked if you wish to do this. task version Answer 'yes' to the question. After creating the missing file and directory, you'll see the current version displayed. cat ~/.taskrc The configuration file contains very little. This is because Taskwarrior has a built-in set of sensible defaults and the configuration file just contains overrides to those defaults. ls -l ~/.task The task data directory is empty. That's because we have added no tasks. --- Let's get started with tasks. Here is the 30-second tutorial on basic takwarrior usage. task add Read task documents later We Add two tasks. task add priority:H Pay bills Easy. Do you see that second one has a High priority? task ls Now let's look at those tasks. They are ordered by priority. Let's mark number 2 as done: task 2 done task ls Task 2 is now gone. Now we can delete that remaining task, because, well, why bother now we are already using task: task 1 delete task ls And that's all you *need* to know. These four commands will allow you to use taskwarrior effectively. If you are new to taskwarrior, it is recommended that you stop here, and go manage your task lists. We don't want you to be overwhelmed, when what you really need is a way to organize and get things done. When you are comfortable with basic taskwarrior usage, there are many other features you can learn about. While you are not expected to learn all of them, or even find them useful, you might just find exactly what you need. ---------------------------------------- End -------------------------------------------------------
