## Features

- Simple, intuitive, and easy-to-use CLI
- Currently supports: listing, adding, editing, deleting, completing,
  archiving, prioritizing, and analyzing todo items
- Smart colored output
- Uses YAML for storage by default (There's the option to add other stores but no configuration for it, yet)
- Modular code covered by unit tests

## Installation

```bash
gem install nin
```

## Usage

```console
NAME:
        nin - a simple, full-featured command line todo app

USAGE:
        nin COMMAND [arguments...]

COMMANDS:
        l  | list          [a]        List all unarchived todos. Pass optional argument `a` to list all todos
        a  | add           desc       Add a todo. Prepend due date by a @. Prepend each tag by a \#
        e  | edit          id desc    Edit a todo. Prepend due date by a @. Prepend each tag by a \#
        p  | prioritize    id step    Prioritize a todo by either a positive or negative step within its date group
        c  | complete      id(s)      Un/complete todo(s)
        ac | archive       id(s)      Un/archive todo(s)
        d  | delete        id(s)      Delete todo(s)
        gc | garbage                  Delete all archived todos. Resets item ids as a side effect
        s  | analyze                  Analyze tasks and print statistics
        i  | repl                     Open nin in REPL mode
        o  | open                     Open todo file in $EDITOR
```

- Print the usage instructions by calling `nin` without commands or arguments
- Each command has a short and a long name, for example, `l` and `list`
- You can utilize the power of the CLI by using shell commands and tools to
  help you do various tasks. For example, run `nin list | grep school` to
  filter items tagged as school
- For adding a due date to an item, prefix the date by an `@`. If no date is
  passed, the default is always the date of the current day
- For adding tags, you need to prefix a `#` by a `\` (e.g., `\#`) in order for
  the shell to interpret it as an actual `#`. Please note that you don't need
  to do this in the REPL mode
- The `edit` command edits the description of an item. If a date is passed, its
  date will be updated. If one or more tags are passed, they will be added to
  that item's tag list
- Commands `complete`, `archive`, and `delete` can update multiple items at
  once by passing multiple id's as arguments
- The `prioritize` command can take a positive or a negative weight as a step
  to either prioritize the item up or down, respectively. The step is always
  bound to the smallest and largest id in the current items date group.  For
  example, passing a 1 as as step prioritizes the item by one item up and
  passing -2 prioritizes the item by 2 items down
- REPL (interactive) mode is where you can pass commands and arguments without
  the need to call `nin` every time and can be triggered by calling `nin i` or
  `nin repl`

## Development

- Install a recent version of `Ruby` and `Bundler`
- Run `bundle install` to install the dependencies
- Run `bundle exec rake` to run the test suite
- Run `gem build nin.gemspec` to build a new version
- To push a new version to RubyGems, run `gem push nin-VERSION-NUMBER.gem`

## Why

Why write another todo app? I like to use the terminal for everything and I've
been using a markdown file to manage my todo list. I looked for something
simple and I found [Todo.rb](https://gist.github.com/mattsears/1259080) which
`nin` started as a spinoff from. However, I needed to add some more features. I
then found [Todolist](http://todolist.site/) which I took some inspiration from
but kept the CLI as simple as it is in Todo.rb. I also didn't like that
todolist uses JSON to store the todo items because I wanted to view the file on
my phone and I needed something more readable.
