NAME
todo - a minimalist todo list manager
SYNOPSIS
todo [-vhex] [-a "todo item"] [-d todo-number] [-d "todo phrase"]
DESRIPTION
todo is a simple, minimalist todo list manager. Users can add items to
a todo list or delete them. Deleted items are archived and can be re
viewed.
The default location of the todo list can be set with the TODO environ
ment variable. If unset, a the default file is ~/todo.txt.
If todo is used within a tmux session, the filename of the todo list
inherits the name of the current session. This allows for unique todo
lists based on tmux context.
The options are as follows:
no parameters
If no parameters are passed to todo, then the current todo list
will be displayed to standard out.
-a quoted_todo_item
Add a new todo list item
-d item_number_or_phrase
Delete a todo list item by its number or by a string. If a
string is provided, any todo list item that matches that string
will be removed. Deleted items are moved to the archive.
The archive file is named identically to the todo file with the excep
tion of a .archive added before the extension. For example, todo.txt
would have an archive named todo.archive.txt in the same folder.
-e Open the todo file in your editor.
-x Display the archive file.
-v Display current version information.
-h Show the help.
EXIT STATUS
The todo utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
EXAMPLES
todo Displays the current todo list
todo -a `this is a new todo list item'

todo -d 3
Deletes item #3 from the current todo list
