- Python 2.7
- OSX or Linux
- Basic knowledge of how to use the command line
You can install wid with either pip or easy_install, I like pip:
$ pip install whatidid
You will need to initialize the ~/.widrc file and get your database structure setup before you can use the application.
$ wid init
You can update your updates by using wid update command:
$ wid update -m "This is my status" -t tag1,tag2,tag3
You can list all of your updates by using the wid update-show command:
$ wid update-show
Monday: This is my status
Tuesday: Did something
You can list all of your updates from a specific week by using the -w flag:
$ wid update-show -w 46
Monday: I did this
Tuesday: tag1,tag2: This is what I did today
Tuesday: tag1: I did something else
You can email someone by the wid-update-mail command:
$ wid-update-mail user@example.com
Note: This will be moved into the wid command soonish.
You can item your todo by using wid todo command:
$ wid todo -m "This is what I need to do"
You can list all of your todos by using the wid todo-show command:
$ wid todo-show
