Taskwarrior Installer

This installs (the old, 2.6.0) taskwarrior and taskwarrior server for you on an Ubuntu device (or on Windows with the WSL app, I did not try Mac yet.) with 2 simple commands. In my experience Taskwarrior (and Timewarrior) are increadibly powerfull tools to monitor and improve your effectiveness in many aspects of life, yet I found setting it up a bit challenging, so I automated the procedure.

Warning

After running this, vscode would not launched, which was resolved by running:

sudo chmod 755 /var

Thanks to this answer.

How to help

• Contribute to the self-hosted GitLab CI on it over here which I would like to run on this repo.
• After CI works, I would like to refactor this repo using this template.

How to use (for users)

Run the Taskwarrior installer from the root of this repository with:

git clone git@github.com:HiveMinds/tw-install.git install
cd install
chmod +x tw-install.sh
./tw-install.sh

That's it, you can now add tasks with: task add make pancakes and sync it with your own taskwarrior server with: task sync :)

Uninstall taskwarrior and taskserver it with:

chmod +x tw-uninstall.sh
./tw-uninstall.sh

(Currently) you have to reboot the system before you install it again using the tw-install.sh file.
