Description

This repository contains two disposable scripts that can convert iCalendar or Remember The Milk tasks to Gina Trapani's todo.txt format (see https://github.com/todotxt):

• ics_to_todotxt.py can import VTODO entries from iCalendar (.ics) files, including those created by RTM;
• rtm_atom_to_todotxt.py can import tasks from your RTM Atom feed.

Run each script without arguments for the usage information.

Import tasks from Remember The Milk

Remember The Milk can export data in iCalendar format, and ics_to_todotxt.py is the preferred method of importing from RTM.

RTM lists are converted to todo.txt projects (+Project); RTM tags and locations are converted to contexts (@Context). Unfortunately, although iCalendar format contains much more information about tasks, it's missing the RTM list names, so if those are important, there are two options:

1. Use rtm_atom_to_todotxt.py.
2. Reconstruct the list names in the ics_to_todotxt.py output manually.

To use ics_to_todotxt.py, RTM task data in iCalendar format must be downloaded and saved using a web browser from this URL:

https://www.rememberthemilk.com/icalendar/YOUR_RTM_USERNAME/

To download RTM task data as an Atom feed for rtm_atom_to_todotxt.py, the following URL must be used instead:

https://www.rememberthemilk.com/atom/YOUR_RTM_USERNAME/

The last component in both URLs must be replaced with the actual RTM username. The user must be logged in.
