With Tasks you keep track, per project, of what you still have to do, on a kanban board with three columns: To do, Working and Done. These are your own tasks, apart from the autopilot's Goals. You can hand a task to the autopilot with one click, though.

All projects

On the start screen, click Tasks. You don't need to open a project.

  • At the top you see how many tasks are To do, how many you're Working on, how many are Done this week, and how many projects have tasks.
  • On the left are your projects: your repositories on GitHub. Each shows how many tasks are still open, and a bar for what is done. Only projects with tasks hides the rest. Search a project finds one quickly.
  • On the right is the board of the chosen project, or of All projects together. Then each task shows which project it belongs to.

Coodoo fetches the list of projects from GitHub once and keeps it. Made a new repository? Click Fetch projects from GitHub at the bottom.

In a project

Open a project and click Tasks in the left bar. You only see that project's tasks, with the columns under each other.

Working with tasks

  • New task: click New task, or the plus above a column. Give it a title, notes if you like, and choose the project.
  • Drag: drag a task to another column, or higher or lower in the same column.
  • Open: click a task to change its title, notes, project or column, or to remove it.

Turning issues into tasks

Click Turn issues into tasks. Choose the project and tick the open issues you want as tasks. Each issue becomes a task once, with the issue's text and a link to it. The issue itself on GitHub stays as it is.

Let the autopilot do it

Open a task and click Let the autopilot do it. The task then becomes a goal in that project's queue, and follows that goal:

  • when the autopilot starts on it, the task goes to Working;
  • when the goal is done, the task goes to Done.

The task always shows how its goal is doing. For this, the project must have been opened in Coodoo.

On all your computers

Your tasks are kept in your private repository coodoo-settings on GitHub, per project, just like your settings. So you have them on every computer where you use Coodoo. If you change the same task on two computers, the newest change wins. Coodoo also keeps a copy on your computer, so you can carry on without internet.

Keys and tokens Coodoo knows never go to GitHub. If one ends up in a task by accident, it shows as REDACTED there.

On your phone

With Remote control you see your tasks on your phone too: on the start screen, and per project under the Tasks tab. You can add tasks there, move them and hand them to the autopilot.
