Features

• Simple

• Integration GitHub issues

How it works

First, you need run gh todo init. It will create todo repo in your GitHub account.

Note:

• You can override the default repo name todo with the environment variable GH_TODO_REPO. Like this:

  GH_TODO_REPO=repo-todo gh todo init

• And you can use gh todo init --template yuler/template-todo based on a template repository.

Then you can use gh todo add to add new task. It will create an issue with today(yyyy-MM-dd) as the title in todo repo.

You can specify the issue title with --scope. The default is today(yyyy-MM-dd). Current support [yesterday, tomorrow, week, month, year]. Any other will be used directly as issue title.

The gh todo or gh todo list where show todo list.
