Below a small snippet which when included in the initialisation phase allows to have task databases per directory rather than per user's home directory. For instance, have a task database per project in your development sandbox.

  {code:none} use Cwd; use File::Basename;

  1. Scan this and parent directories for taskwarrior customisations my $pwd = cwd(); while ($pwd ne '/' && $pwd ne $ENV{'HOME'}) { my $count=0; $task = "TASKRC=$pwd/.taskrc $task", ++ $count if -f "$pwd/.taskrc"; $task = "TASKDATA=$pwd/.task $task", ++ $count if -d "$pwd/.task"; last if $count > 0; $pwd = dirname ($pwd); } {code}

[~don] thanks for this report! That patch indeed seems useful. I'm not convinced that such functionality belongs in VIT. If anything, it would be in Taskwarrior itself, but I'm not even convinced that it belongs there. This idea is similar to local-task.sh, which is listed at https://taskwarrior.org/tools/ and resulted from TW-514. That script is a little different from your proposal because I don't think it searches upward. When motivated your script compared to local-task.sh, you should mention that Git has this behavior.
