Taskwarrior-Habitica Bridge

Sync Taskwarrior tasks with Habitica (and vice versa).

What It Does

• Add tasks added through Taskwarrior (e.g. task add) to Habitica
• Modify tasks modified through Taskwarrior (e.g. task modify) on Habitica
• Bidirectionally synchronize tasks between Taskwarrior and Habitica

Installation and Setup

Dependencies

• Nix

Installing the program

1. If you don't have the Nix package manager installed, install it now: curl https://nixos.org/nix/install | sh
2. Install via the setup script: curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/robwhitaker/taskwarrior-habitica-bridge/master/setup.sh | sh

Installing the hooks

1. Copy all the files in the hooks/ directory into your Taskwarrior hooks folder (.task/hooks/ by default).

Adding Habitica UDAs to Taskwarrior

Some UDAs are needed to represent Habitica types. Add the following UDAs to your .taskrc file:

uda.habitica_uuid.label=Habitica UUID
uda.habitica_uuid.type=string

uda.habitica_difficulty.label=Habitica Difficulty
uda.habitica_difficulty.type=string
uda.habitica_difficulty.values=trivial,easy,medium,hard

uda.habitica_task_type.label=Habitica Task Type
uda.habitica_task_type.type=string
uda.habitica_task_type.values=daily,todo

Providing Habitica credentials

In order to interact with your tasks, Taskwarrior-Habitica Bridge needs your Habitica user ID and API key. You must provide them in your .taskrc file (or some included rc file) as follows:

habitica.user_id=YOUR_USER_ID
habitica.api_key=YOUR_API_KEY

Usage

When editing tasks in Taskwarrior, the hook scripts will automatically update them on Habitica so you can use Taskwarrior as per usual.

task2habitica sync will synchronize tasks between Taskwarrior and Habitica in the case things don't sync automatically (e.g. you've added a task on Habitica you want to pull into Taskwarrior).

A note on recurring tasks in Taskwarrior

Taskwarrior-Habitica Bridge supports syncing instances of recurring Taskwarrior tasks. However, the first time you create a recurring task in Taskwarrior, the on-add hook doesn't trigger. This means you will need to run task2habitica sync to get that first instance onto Habitica. After that, things should work as expected.

Other hook scripts

While task2habitica sync runs, it runs various task commands which will trigger hooks. An environment variable, TASK2HABITICA_RUNNING, is set (to 1) while the sync command runs so that you may check if a sync is occurring and possibly skip the processing of certain hook scripts if needed.

Not Supported

• Syncing tags
• Syncing description (Taskwarrior has no notion of a description in the Habitica sense)
