Task CLI

Description

Task is a simple CLI tool to help manage your life.

It uses the cobra package to help speed up development.

It was created as part of a tutorial on Gophercises. You can check out the original repository here

Thanks to Jon Calhoun for creating this great learning resource.

Installation

go install

If you have your Go workspace set up correctly then you are able to install task-cli to your $GOPATH/bin directory by using go install. You may need to run go get before this if there are dependency issues, though go install should take care of most of this for you.

Docker

If you would like you can run task-cli within a docker contianer. As part of the Makefile you can run make install this will perform the following actions

• Create a statically linked binary
• Create a docker image with the go binary within
• Create a docker volume to persist the bolt database file
• Create a wrapper bash script within $HOME/bin called taskd that will run the container

You can also forego using the wrapper bash script and run the container yourself with the following commands:

docker volume create task
docker run -it --rm -v task:/app/.tasks davyj0nes/task:latest
