Taskwarrior Shift All Recurrence Attributes Hook
This is a hook for TaskWarrior (http://www.taskwarrior.org),
which allow your recurrent tasks to inherit wait, scheduled
and until attributes from the parent.
Install
Note: This hook has been rewritten to leverage taskpirate, for greater hook efficiency. Please see https://github.com/tbabej/taskpirate for instructions. Don't worry, it's straightforward.
git clone https://github.com/tbabej/taskwarrior-shift-all-recurrence-hook.git
cp taskwarrior-shift-all-recurrence-hook/on-* ~/.task/hooks/
This hook leverages tasklib, so you need to install that too:
pip install tasklib
Use case
Consider you have a periodic task, which is valid only for the certain day, e.g. on every Sunday you go running.
$ task add due:sunday recur:weekly
However, TaskWarrior will display the task right away, and you want to showing up only during the weekend, so that it does not distract your task list during the work week.
If you try to add the recurrence again, this time with wait attribute,
to hide the task until it is not relevant for you:
$ task add due:sunday recur:weekly wait:saturday
You will find out that TaskWarrior does not let tasks generated by this
recurrence inherit the wait attribute, in the same manner as it does
with the due attribute.
This hook solves that.
