I wanted a simple easy to use application for managing my todo list that was free and open source software (FOSS) which I could install on Linux systems, but which might also be available for other operating systems as well. There are online, commercial alternatives, but I wanted something I could put on my own systems with no fear that my data might disappear should a commercial entity not remain commercially viable. I found Taskwarrior, an open-source, cross platform time and task management tool with a command-line interface (CLI). The command line interface is helpful to me since I'm often working on systems via a Secure Shell (SSH) connection and would like to be able to add to my task list on those systems without using a graphical user interface (GUI).
I wanted to first install it on a
CentOS Linux
system. It isn't in the default
software repositories for CentOS, but if you
configure a CentOS
system to use the EPEL repository, you can easily install the Taskwarrior
package using yum with yum install task
.
