taskquery

A simply query interface for Taskwarrior

What it does

This script let's you on-the-fly specify which columns you want to see in a report and how the result should be sorted. When you just want to create a simple custom report which you are going to use once, this is much simpler then having to create a custom report, or specify all the rc-override on the commandline. This script simply rewrites the extra parameters to the correct rc-overrides.

Interface

The following parameters can be used. All parameters are optional.

• columns:: used to specify which columns to display
• labels:: used to specify the labels for the columns. If this parameter is absent the column names will be used as the labels
• sort:: specify how to sort the result. e.g.: id+,description-
• report:: which report to use. By default the all report will be used.

Installation and usage
