KanOrg allows you easily organize all your tasks from the terminal.

Roadmap :scroll:

Missing commandline features:

  • Move a task from one workflow to another
  • Edit a task
  • Delete a task

Other features:

  • Add due date and priority tags (maybe with automatic colours)
  • Add a command to list/remove/show archived tasks
  • Add a command to show a task without editing

If you want to request a new feature, create an issue!

Installation :floppy_disk:

To install the package into $HOME/.cargo/bin run:

cargo install kanorg

Before running anything, some basics :warning:

This CLI is based on a well defined directory structure. It is based on a main directory .kanorg.d, the configuration file (.kanorg.d/config), and the active and archived task directories (.kanorg.d/active.d and .kanorg.d/archive.d respectively).

Take a look to the "examples" directory where all the files mentioned above can be found. By default, when you create a new KanOrg config directory, you will have empty active and archive directories with empty lists of tasks in the config file.

CLI :dvd:

In this section some use cases of each command will be mentioned. You can also check an API documentation of the library. If you want to see the documentation of private structs and methods, you will need to run the following after cloning the repo:

cargo doc --document-private-items --open

Create

To create a new configuration environment you can run:

ko c[reate] [<target directory>]

By default, if you don't pass the <target directory> argument, it will create the configuration in the current directory.

Show

To show the active tasks you can run:

ko s[how] [<workflow name>]

If no workflow is specified you will get something like:

|          TODO           |          DOING          |          DONE           |
|-------------------------|-------------------------|-------------------------|
|  18 This is the task 18 |  14 This is the task 14 |  12 This is the task 12 |
|  17 This is the task 17 |  13 This is the task 13 |  11 This is the task 11 |
|  16 This is the task 16 |                         |  10 This is the task 10 |
|  15 This is the task 15 |                         |   9 This is the task 9  |
|                         |                         |   8 This is the task 8  |

BACKLOG
  25 This is the task 25 sample title
  24 This is the task 24 sample title
  23 This is the task 23 sample title
  22 This is the task 22 sample title
  21 This is the task 21 sample title
WARNING: The backlog has been trimmed. Run `ko show backlog` to see all the backlog tasks.

You can also specify some workflow to list all the tasks in it. It will show something like:

BACKLOG
  25 This is the task 25 sample title
  24 This is the task 24 sample title
  23 This is the task 23 sample title
  22 This is the task 22 sample title
  21 This is the task 21 sample title
  20 This is the task 20 sample title
  19 This is the task 19 sample title

Add

You can add a new task with:

ko a[dd] <task title> [<workflow name>]

If the <workflow name> is not specified, the new task will be created in backlog.

Move

In order to move a task from one workflow to another:

ko m[ove] <task ID> [<workflow name>]

If no <workflow name> is specified, it will be moved to backlog.

Edit

You can edit any active task running:

ko e[dit] <task ID>

It will open the task file with your default editor ($EDITOR environment variable). If no editor is defined, it will try to use vi.

Delete

Delete an active task:

ko d[elete] <task ID>

Running tests :bomb:

In order to run the package tests:

cargo test [(--lib | --tests integration --features integration)]
