todo_finder 0.1.2

todo_finder finds TODOs in your source code and records them as github issues.

install

from source

After cloning this repo and cding into it, you can install with:

bash .ci/common.sh
cargo install --debug --path ./todo_finder --root $HOME/.cargo/

This will install the rust toolchain and any dependencies, like ripgrep, and then install the todo_finder executable.

from crates.io

To install from crates.io you'll need a rust toolchain. I prefer to work with rustup.

Then install ripgrep, which provides the broadphase filesystem search used by todo_finder:

cargo install ripgrep

then install todo_finder run:

cargo install todo_finder

use

Use todo_finder from the command line within the directory you would like to search. Found TODOs can be dumped to a file or synchronized with the GitHub Issues of the repository being searched, if the current directory is a git repo.

Syncing with GitHub Issues

todo_cli -o github --auth XXX12340981723409872783asonetuhHtonoas24 -l todo

The above command would search through the current directory for TODOs and attempt to publish the results to the repos GitHub issues using the label "todo". This command requires a github auth token.

Dumping to a file

todo_cli -o markdown

The above command would dump any found TODOs into a markdown file in the current directory called todos.md.
