++ [Using Git as Your Personal To-Do List](https://dev.to/munemprionto/using-git-as-your-personal-to-do-list-3kkd)
+  by Munem Prionto on DEV\.to - more as a way of learning Git by the way of managing
+  a TODO list, rather than for practical reasons.
+    + Contrast with [Using Git to Manage Todos](https://jezenthomas.com/2015/10/using-git-to-manage-todos/
+      by Jezen Thomas (2015), mentioned in [Git Rev News Edition #](https://git.github.io/rev_news/2015/11/11/edition-9/),
+      which is about using Git to help manage TODO or FIXME comments in the codebase
+      (assuming that for example your IDE does not have plugin for managing TODOs).
+    + One can also consider using a CLI tool that stores data in plain text files
+      for managing TODOs, like [Taskwarrior](https://taskwarrior.org/).  Plain text
+      files work well with Git.
