Dowhatagain

Simple tool for filtering todos from a piped in list of files and outputting to various formats.

TODO comments in code have a tendency to be just left there yet they also have their value when building complicated things.

Installation

Manual:

• Clone the repository
• Install the rust toolchain
• Run cargo install --path .

Via cargo: cargo install dowhatagain

Features

• Output in Markdown and plain text
• Group by filename
• Simple display or detailed with filename and line number
• Way faster than needed using buffered parallel processing

Example usage

Get all TODOs in a repository:

$ fd . | dowhatagain

file1.rs:3: Do thing
file2.rs:4: Other thing

Get all TODOs for the current changeset and output to markdown: git diff master --name-only | dowhatagain --output markdown --group-by file --detail just-task

file.rs

- [ ] Do thing
- [ ] Do other thing

other_file.rs

- [ ] Do thing
- [ ] Do other thing

Great for PR checks, commit hooks and custom workflows.
