Installation

Requirements

Needs Nerd Fonts to render icons correctly.

AUR

Use your favorite AUR helper or makepkg to install.

paru -S tb.go

or

yay -S tb.go

or

#Manual
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/tb.git
cd tb
makepkg -si

Git

git clone https://github.com/araaha/tb.go
cd tb.go
make
make sys-install

Binary releases

You can download binaries from here:

• https://github.com/araaha/tb.go/releases

Usage

Quickstart

Create a task via tb task. You can begin tasks, or complete them. Alternatively tb note creates a note. All items are stored in a taskbook.json file stored in

• $XDG_DATA_HOME
• $HOME/.local/share/taskbook

in that order.

Deleting tasks archives them. To permanently remove them, run tb archive --remove. tb clear clears every completed task and places them in the archive. For further information, run tb --help to see all commands. For each subcommand, you can run --help for that flag to see examples.

Shell Completion

• bash

  #Set up completion for tb
  eval "$(tb completion bash)"

• zsh

  #Set up completion for tb
  source <(tb completion bash)```

• fish

  #Set up completion for tb
  tb completion fish | source

• powershell

  #Set up completion for tb
  tb completion powershell | Out-String | Invoke-Expression```
  

Config

The config file is stored in TOML. You can specify one with the --config flag. Alternatively, it searches in

• $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/taskbook/taskbook.toml
• $HOME/.config/taskbook/taskbook.toml in that order.

Example

#Gruvbox
[colors]
white = "#ebdbb2"
red = "#fb4934"
yellow = "#fabd2f"
gray = "#928374"
green = "#b8bb26"
blue = "#83a598"
magenta = "#d3869b"
cyan = "#8ec07c"

You can specify the colors in hex format.
