tasks lsc                     shows the list of contexts
tasks add "{content}"         creates task based on content string
tasks done {id}               marks one or several tasks (separated by a comma) as done 
tasks rm {id}                 deletes one or several tasks (separated by a comma) based on the id

Storing data file locally

By default, the data file is stored under /home/{USER}/.local/share/tasks/tasks.json. You can modify this behavior by setting you own ssh_local_path in the config:

local_file_path = '/opt/tasks'

Storing data file remotely with SSH

You can use a remote file to store your data file in order to use the same one whatever the device your on. It supports ssh2.

To do that you simply need to update the config file:

ssh_ip = '666.66.66.666:22' 
ssh_username = 'root'
ssh_file_path = 'apps/tasks'

ssh_ip is The IP of the remote server you want to connect to (you'll need the port which is 22 by default). ssh_username is the user name of the server you want to connect with (which is often root by default). ssh_file_path is the location where you want to store the tasks data file.

The ssh connection uses ssh-agent to get the right ssh key. You might need to run this command to add your ssh key to ssh-agent:

eval `ssh-agent -s` && ssh-add # You can specify the name of the key if you are using a different one
