hasknote

A Haskell clone of tasknote with extra features and nicer configuration. It allows the user to associate a text file with a Taskwarrior task. When a note is added, the task will be annotated with the first line of the note. This annotation will be updated with each call to hasknote edit.

Installation

Building with Nix

Using the Nix package manager:

1. Clone the project and cd into its directory.
2. Run nix build
3. The compiled executable will be located at ./result/bin/hasknote.

Building with Cabal

Using Haskell's Cabal:

1. Clone the project and cd into its directory.
2. Run cabal --enable-nix v1-configure && cabal --enable-nix v1-build.
3. The compiled executable will be located at ./dist/build/hasknote/hasknote.

Usage

Usage: hasknote TASK_ID COMMAND

Available options:
  -h,--help                Show this help text

Available commands:
  edit [--stdin]           Create or edit a note for a task, optionally reading
                           from stdin instead of opening an editor
  view                     View the note for a task if it exists
  remove                   Remove the note for a task if it exists

Configuration

You can configure hasknote via a ~/.hasknoterc file. Options are:

• editor - The text editor you edit your note in. Default: editor = vi.
• viewer - The program used to view your note. Default: viewer = cat.
• location - The directory where your notes will be stored. If the directory does not exist, it will be created. Default: location = ~/.task/notes.
• extension - The file extension for your notes. Default: extension = .txt.
• prefix - The prefix of hasknote's task annotations, used by hasknote to detect and remove the annotations later. Default: prefix = [hasknote].
• skipHooksOnQuery - Whether to run the task command with rc.hooks=0 when querying task data. Increases the speed of hasknote, especially if you have hooks that take a while. This option does not affect the task command when a task is being modified, in which case hooks are always run. Default: skipHooksOnQuery = True.
