Todo: Terminal-based Todo List Manager

Author: Tyler Petresky

Description: The purpose of this project is to provide an extremely easy to use, yet versatile interface for managing simple to-do lists within your terminal. As long as this file in your PATH, you can execute an array of commands to easily manage multiple lists to keep track of what you need to get done.

Commands:

Create a List

• init <list>: Initialize a new list with a given identifier
• i: Alias for init

Delete a List or Delete a Task

• remove <list>: Delete an entire todo list
• remove <list> <item #>: Remove a single task from a given todo list
• rm: Alias for remove

Add a Task to a List

• add <list> "<task to add>": Add a single task to a given todo list
• add "<task to add>": Add a single task to the currently active todo list (see activate and deactivate)
• a: Alias for add

Show all Lists/Items

• list: List all currently initialized lists
• list <list>: List all tasks within a given list
• ls: Alias for list

Do/Undo Tasks

• do <list> <item #>: Mark a task within a given list as "completed"
• d: Alias for do
• undo <list> <item #>: Mark a task within a given list as "incomplete"
• u: Alias for undo

Clear a List

• clear <list>: Clear a list and reinitialize it
• cls <list>: Alias for clear

Activate/Deactive List

The concept of an "active" list exists to allow you to skip typing the name of a list when you want to add a lot of tasks to a particular todo list. Rather than typing todo add <list> "<task to add>" everytime. You can simply activate a list (todo activate <list>) and then just enter todo add "<task to add>", or with the built-in alias, todo a "<task to add>". This will add all following insertions to the same list.

• activate <list>: Set a given list as the "active" list
• deactivate: Set the currently "active" list as "inactive"

For Extra Ease of Use

For added ease and quicker typing add these two aliases to your terminal:
alias do="todo add"
alias did="todo do"

This will allow you to type something like the following:

do "Task to do": Will add to the active list

do list "Task to do": Will add to the list entitled 'list'

did list 2: Mark item 2 on the list entitled 'list' as completed
