Branching Model

We use the following branching model:

• stable is a branch containing the content of the latest release. Building from here is the same as building from the latest tarball, or installing a binary package. No development is done on the stable branch.

• develop is the current development branch. All work is done here, and upon release it will be merged to stable. While development branch is not stable, we utilize CI to ensure we're at least not merging improvements that break existing tests, and hence should be relatively safe. We still recommend making backups when using the development branch.

Installing

There are many binary packages available, but to install from source requires:

• git
• cmake
• make
• C++ compiler, currently gcc 7.1+ or clang 5.0+ for full C++17 support
• libuuid
• GnuTLS (optional, required for sync)

Download the tarball, and expand it:

$ curl -O https://taskwarrior.org/download/task-2.6.2.tar.gz
$ tar xzf task-2.6.2.tar.gz
$ cd task-2.6.2

Or clone this repository:

$ git clone --recursive -b stable https://github.com/GothenburgBitFactory/taskwarrior.git
$ cd taskwarrior

Then build:

$ cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=release .
...
$ make
...
[$ make test]
...
$ sudo make install
