dsu add [OPTIONS] DESCRIPTION

dsu a [OPTIONS] DESCRIPTION

If no OPTIONS are provided, the DSU entry will be be added to the current date.

Duplicate entries are not allowed for the same Entry Group (i.e. within the same date); that is, entry DESCRIPTIONS need to be unique within an entry group.

Today

Adding a DSU entry for the current day (today), you can use the -n|--today option. Today (-n) is the default; therefore, the -n flag is optional if you want to add a DSU entry for the current day (today).

dsu add --today "Pair with John on ticket IN-12345"

dsu a -n "Pair with John on ticket IN-12345" # Equivalent to the above, only using shortcuts

dsu a "Pair with John on ticket IN-12345" # Equivalent to the above, '-n' and '--today' are optional and default to 'today'

Yesterday

Adding a DSU entry for yesterday's date, you can use the -y| --yesterday option.

dsu add --yesterday "Pick up ticket IN-12345"

dsu a -y "Pick up ticket IN-12345" # Equivalent to the above, only using shortcuts

Tomorrow

Add a DSU entry for tomorrow, you can use the -t|--tomorrow option.

dsu add --tomorrow "Pick up ticket IN-12345"

dsu a -t "Pick up ticket IN-12345" # Equivalent to the above, only using shortcuts

Miscellaneous Date

Adding a miscellaneous date, you can use the --date | -d option.

  • When omitting year, dates must be entered in MM/DD format.
  • When including year, dates must be entered in YYYY/MM/DD format.
  • When omitting YYYY, the current year is assumed.

dsu add --date 2023/12/31 "Attend New Years Coffee Meet & Greet"

dsu a -d 2023/12/31 "Attend New Years Coffee Meet & Greet" # Equivalent to the above, only using shortcuts

dsu a -d 12/31 "Attend New Years Coffee Meet & Greet" # Equivalent to the above, assumes the current year
