.SH NAME
|
|
task-faq \- A FAQ for the task(1) command line todo manager.
|
|
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
Task is a command line TODO list manager. It maintains a list of tasks that you
|
|
want to do, allowing you to add/remove, and otherwise manipulate them. Task
|
|
has a rich list of commands that allow you to do various things with it.
|
|
|
|
.SH WELCOME
|
|
Welcome to the task FAQ. If you have would like to see a question answered
|
|
here, please send us a note at <support@taskwarrior.org>.
|
|

|

|
|
.B Q: Where does task store the data?
|
|
By default, task creates a .taskrc file in your home directory and populates it
|
|
with defaults. Task also creates a .task directory in your home directory and
|
|
puts data files there.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B Q: Can I edit that data?
|
|
Of course you can. It is a simple text file, and looks somewhat like the JSON
|
|
format, and if you are careful not to break the format, there is no reason not
|
|
to edit it. But task provides a rich command set to do that manipulation for
|
|
you, so it is probably best to leave those files alone.
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B Q: How do I restore my .taskrc file to defaults?
|
|
If you delete (or rename) your .taskrc file, task will offer to create a default
|
|
one for you. Another way to do this is with the command:
|
|
|
|
$ task rc:new-file version
|
|
|
|
Task will create 'new-file' if it doesn't already exist. Note that this is a
|
|
good way to learn about new configuration settings, if your .taskrc file was
|
|
created by an older version of task.

.B Q: Can I share my tasks between different machines?
