vitodo(1)

✨ NAME ✨

vitodo — bestie, this is the one that lets you edit your configured todo.txt tasking file using vi 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

vitodo

That's it. No flags, no args, no drama. She's a simple girl. 🎀

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Okay so vitodo literally just opens up your configured todo.txt tasking file inside vi. That's the whole vibe. Your tasks, your editor, your main character moment. ✨

But wait, there's more, and it's giving automation. 🦋 There are hooks — lil scripts that can run before and after your todo.txt file gets processed:

• Scripts that run before processing live in /etc/todo.txt-base/prehooks
• Scripts that run after processing live in /etc/todo.txt-base/posthooks

Every single one of these scripts gets run with a single argument, and that argument is the location of the todo.txt tasking file. So your hooks know exactly which file we're talking about. No cap. 🫶

And how does vitodo figure out where your todo.txt tasking file even is? Not me guessing — it runs todo.txt --info and lets that tell it. Iconic behavior honestly. 👑

Heads up bestie: your prehooks and posthooks are chillin' in /etc/todo.txt-base/, so if you're dropping scripts in there, make sure they're where the command expects them. 💀
