Asana CLI tree

This is a ruby script that prints out a command line tree representation of all tasks in an Asana workspace.

What for?

I currently use Asana to keep track of a lot of personal tasks and projects. Since I don't assign them to myself, there's no easy way to see them all in one place. Especially since the Asana UI doesn't have great support for showing tasks + subtasks together.

Installation

Copy config-sample.yml to ~/.asana-cli-tree.yml and customize the values appropriately.

I also set up a shell alias (in .zshrc) something like alias todo="ruby /path/to/view-tasks.rb".

TODO: Explain config values.

Usage

$ ruby view-tasks.rb --load
# first usage
$ ruby view-tasks.rb
# shows cached data

Sample output

It actually comes out with helpful shell coloring, but I can't embed that.
