💖 gtg — Getting Things GNOME 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the gtg manual page — that's section 1 of the General Commands Manual, in case the vibes weren't clear. this is your personal tasks + ToDo list organizer for the GNOME desktop environment, and honestly? she ate. let's get into it 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

gtg — Getting Things GNOME!, a personal tasks and ToDo list organizer for the GNOME desktop environment. that's the whole name, she's got range, she's iconic. 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

gtg [options...] [task-ids...]

yeah that's it. options first, task ids after. no cap. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

"Getting Things GNOME" (aka GTG, because we're close like that) is a personal tasks and ToDo list organizer inspired by the "Getting Things Done" (GTD) methodology. so it's not just a list app, it's a whole philosophy, and she's serving it.

GTG is here to help you track everything you need to do and need to know — from the tiniest little task to the biggest, most unhinged large project. literally the whole spectrum. 🌈

and her user interface? designed to accommodate many workflows, because she gets that everyone's brain runs different. features include:

  • a very flexible tagging and searching system 🏷️
  • natural language parsing and a free-form task text editor ✍️
  • projects/task dependencies (infinite sub-tasks, yes infinite, she said what she said), start dates and due dates 📆
  • an "Actionable" tasks view mode to help you stay focused during your work 🎯
  • the ability to effortlessly defer tasks to common upcoming days, or to a custom date — deferring is self care, fr fr 😌

and just to say it again because it's the whole point: GTG is intended to help you track everything you need to do and need to know, from small tasks to large projects. 💖

GTG uses a very handy system for creating and editing tasks. the task editor can automatically recognize metadata such as tags and subtasks through the use of a very simple syntax. so you type, she understands. that's the dynamic. ✨

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -d, --debug — Debug mode. prints extra information to the console which may be useful for understanding and reporting bugs. she's oversharing, but for science. 🐛
  • -h, --help — Prints some information about gtg's usage and options. the classic "bestie explain yourself" move.
  • -t TITLE, --title=TITLE — Set the application name to TITLE. you can rename her. she doesn't mind. 🎀
  • -v, --version — Prints version and exits. quick lil peek and she's gone. 👋
  • task-id — Task to open, in the format of gtg://task-id. yes, gtg:// — she's got her own URI scheme, main character energy confirmed. 🔥
