                                           completed etc, by month

task ghistory                            This report shows a histogram of tasks that were
                                           added (in red), completed (in green) and deleted
                                           (in yellow), all by month.

                                         And that's it.  There are more commands than this
                                         covered in the online documentation, but this should give
                                         the basic idea.

                                         Thank you for watching.
