-====== Todo Lists in TaskWarrior ====== 
  
-[[http://taskwarrior.org/projects/show/taskwarrior|Taskwarrior]] is a powerful command-line todo list manager which can be installed from [[http://slackbuilds.org/repository/13.37/office/task/|SlackBuilds.org]]. Please note that it depends on [[http://slackbuilds.org/repository/13.37/development/lua/|Lua]]. 
- 
-===== Managing Your Todo List ===== 
- 
-You can use TaskWarrior in 2 ways: 
- 
-1. By invoking the ''Task Shell'' and issuing ''TW'' commands: 
- 
-<code>% task shell 
-task 2.1.1 shell 
- 
-Enter any task command (such as 'list'), or hit 'Enter'. 
-There is no need to include the 'task' command itself. 
-Enter 'quit' (or 'bye', 'exit') to end the session. 
- 
-task></code> 
- 
-2. By typing ''TW'' commands directly from a system shell (eg. Bash) preceded with the ''task'' command. This is the approach we are going to take in this tutorial. In order to limit the amount of typing we could create a shell alias. If you use Bash, please edit (or create) the following file ''~/.bashrc'': 
- 
-<code>alias t=task</code> 
- 
-In this HOWTO we are going to use the full ''task'' command. 
- 
-=== Adding Tasks === 
- 
-<code>% task add Email Bob     
-Created task 1. 
-% task add priority:H Book a ticket 
-Created task 2.</code> 
- 
-We have just created 2 tasks with the second one being of high priority. 
- 
-=== Adding Due Dates === 
- 
-<code>% task 1 modify due:09/09/2012 
-% task 4 modify due:today 
-% task 5 modify due:3days</code> 
- 
-=== Displaying Tasks === 
- 
-<code>% task 
- 
-ID Project Pri Due        A Age Urgency Description   
- 2         H                            Book a ticket 
- 1             09/09/2012               Email Bob     
- 
-2 tasks</code> 
- 
-Please note that because of high priority, task 2 is at the top of the list. There are a few ways you can list your tasks: 
- 
- * task 
- * task minimal 
- * task ls 
- * task list 
- * task long 
- 
-Each method differs in terms of the amount of displayed information. 
- 
-=== Starting a Task === 
- 
-<code>% task 1 start</code> 
- 
-=== Marking Tasks as Done === 
- 
-<code>% task 2 done 
-Completed task 2 'Book a ticket'. 
-Completed 1 task. 
-% task ls 
- 
-ID Project Pri Description 
- 1             Email Bob 
- 
-1 task</code> 
- 
-=== Deleting Tasks === 
- 
-<code>% task 1 delete</code> 
- 
-Alternatively, you can ''undo'' the task you've just created: 
- 
-<code>% task undo</code> 
- 
-=== Duplicating Tasks === 
- 
-We have got the following task: 
- 
-<code>ID Project Pri Due A Age Urgency Description      
- 4         H          3s       6 Phone Lennart about the code</code> 
- 
-You can duplicate the task with some modifications 
- 
-<code>% task 4 duplicate /Lennart/Linus/</code> 
- 
-<code>ID Project Pri Due A Age Urgency Description      
- 4         H          1m       6 Phone Lennart about the code 
- 5         H          7s       6 Phone Linus about the code</code> 
- 
-=== Modifying Tasks === 
- 
-You have just realised that one of your tasks contains a spelling mistake:

-===== Colours in TaskWarrior ===== 
- 
-You can enable one of the colour themes in ~/.taskrc by uncommenting one of the lines: 
- 
-<code># Color theme (uncomment one to use) 
-#include /usr/share/doc/task/rc/light-16.theme 
-#include /usr/share/doc/task/rc/light-256.theme 
-#include /usr/share/doc/task/rc/dark-16.theme 
-#include /usr/share/doc/task/rc/dark-256.theme 
-#include /usr/share/doc/task/rc/dark-red-256.theme 
-include /usr/share/doc/task/rc/dark-green-256.theme 
-#include /usr/share/doc/task/rc/dark-blue-256.theme 
-#include /usr/share/doc/task/rc/dark-violets-256.theme 
-#include /usr/share/doc/task/rc/dark-yellow-green.theme 
-#include /usr/share/doc/task/rc/dark-gray-256.theme</code> 
- 
-The ''dark-green-256'' theme looks as follows: 
- 
-{{ :howtos:task.png?nolink | TaskWarrior}} 
- 
-You can display current colours (variables + colour values) with: 
- 
-<code>% task color legend</code> 
- 
-Colour themes can be easily customised by editing theme files. All the theme files are located in ''/usr/share/doc/task/rc/''. 
- 
-===== Displaying a Calendar ===== 
- 
-All the tasks that have a due date assigned will be marked on the calendar. Additionally you can enable the display of holidays by specifying a country in ''~/.taskrc'': 
- 
-<code>include /usr/local/share/doc/task/rc/holidays-GB.rc</code> 
- 
-The ''/usr/share/doc/task/rc/'' directory contains holidays for other countries as well. 
- 
-===== TaskWarrior Integration ===== 
- 
-TaskWarrior is a very flexible and powerful tool. What makes it even more useful is the possibility of integrating it into your working environment.
