About Taskwarrior
Taskwarrior is a utility for managing task lists from the command line. It is developed as a portable open-source project, and it is surrounded by an ecosystem of tools, hooks and extensions that adapt it to different workflows. Repository topics place it in the to-do list and GTD space.
It is packaged for a wide range of Linux and Unix systems, macOS and Windows, with packages tracked on Repology, and it can also be built from source. The project website holds the online documentation, downloads and news, while the GitHub discussions forum is the recommended place for questions. Contributions of all kinds are welcome, including code patches, ideas, bug reports and discussion.
Taskwarrior is written in C++ and released under the MIT licence. It has been developed since 2006, mostly by a small group of volunteers, and the maintainers invite users to sponsor the project through GitHub Sponsors so that core developers can devote more hours.
