What it does
Todo.txt CLI is a shell script for adding, prioritizing, filtering, and completing tasks stored in the human-readable todo.txt format. The project emphasizes portable text files and command-line workflows.
Keep tasks in a plain-text todo.txt file and use the CLI to add, prioritize, filter, and archive completed items. Because the data is text-based, it can be edited with other tools and kept in a location chosen by the user. The CLI is GPL-3.0-licensed. See the official repository and license.
