Thank you for taking a look at task.  Task is a GTD utility featuring:

  - Robust C++ implementation
  - Tags
  - Colorful, tabular output
  - Reports, graphs
  - Lots of commands
  - Low-level API
  - Abbreviations for all commands, options
  - Multi-user file locking
  - Clean architecture allowing quick addition of new features
  - Recurring tasks

It is intended that features, mainly in the form of reports will be added
frequently, with best practices and useful reports evolving from usage patterns.

Task is scope-limited to GTD functionality only.

You may want to jump straight to the TUTORIAL file, or perhaps watch the old
task movie on YouTube:

or the new improved one:

Either will give you a fairly good idea of what task is capable of, and whether
it fits in to your way of working.  As a command line application, task is not
for everyone and some of you may prefer to not proceed.  The movie or TUTORIAL
file are the quickest way for you to make that decision.

Please note that the TUTORIAL file included is deprecated, and will be removed
at the next major release of task.  It is superceded by an HTML tutorial that
can be found at:

Task is based on ideas presented in the todo.sh script, found on:

  http://todotxt.org

Task has many more features than todo.sh, but fundamentally, they are both
working toward the same goals, which is to help you follow basic Getting Things
Done (GTD) principles.

All feedback is welcome, in addition to any bug reports or patches to:

I have found that task makes me more productive and organized.  I hope task can
do the same for you.
