Toru

A (currently in development) to do app for the command line.

---

Design

The general idea of Toru is to have a to-do app which uses distinct, mutually exclusive vaults of tasks with configuration which is in a human readable and easy to export and import format (to completely separate personal, work, study, etc), however within a vault, to use tags and dependencies as a means of organising notes, rather than mutually exclusive folders.

For example, in a given vault, one may have a big project they are working on. This project, and all of the subtasks are listed together on the top level (and not organised according to projects). In order to conveniently organise and view tasks, use tags and dependencies, and filter searches for tasks to get the desired information. This allows you to categorise tasks even when they do not fall into any one obvious category.

Installation

The easiest way to install is from crates.io with cargo:

cargo install toru

Alternatively you can build from source:

git clone https://github.com/aaron-jack-manning/toru.git
cd toru
cargo build --release

which will create an executable at /target/release/toru.

Getting Started

Simply type toru in terminal to display help information for each command:

toru 0.4.0
Aaron Manning <contact@aaronmanning.net>
A command line task manager.

USAGE:
    toru <SUBCOMMAND>

OPTIONS:
    -h, --help       Print help information
    -V, --version    Print version information

SUBCOMMANDS:
    complete     Mark a task as complete
    config       For making changes to global configuration
    delete       Delete a task (move file to trash)
    edit         Edit a task directly
    git          Run Git commands at the root of the vault
    gitignore    Adds the recommended .gitignore file to the vault
    list         Lists tasks according to the specified fields, ordering and filters
    new          Create a new task
    stats        For statistics about the state of your vault
    svn          Run Subversion commands at the root of the vault
    switch       Switches to the specified vault
    track        For tracking time against a task
    vault        Commands for interacting with vaults
    view         Displays the specified task in detail

You can view any help screen by passing in the -h or --help flag, and the internal documentation is designed to make it obvious how to use Toru.

To start up you will need a vault to store tasks in, which you can create by running toru vault new <NAME> <PATH>.

If you ever want to view all vaults, along with which is the current one, run toru vault list.

Then you can run toru new to create your first task.
