grus is a command-line hierarchial task manager. This means that instead of organizing tasks as a long, unmaintainable list, tasks can be organized in a hierarchy. This allows tasks which may seem unfeasible to be repeatedly broken down into smaller, more doable tasks, making it easier to plan for the long term. grus builds onto this idea by representing tasks as nodes of a multitree, which allows multiple tasks to have a same subtask as a child, since two different tasks can depend on the same subtask.
Task management should be quick and should not require much thought. grus helps the user by listing only what it considers the most important tasks, so that the user can narrow down their choice instead of getting overwhelmed by tasks. This makes scrolling for tasks mostly unnecessary. It has vi-like key bindings, so most operations: adding, deleting, renaming, take the least amount of keystrokes to perform.
Warning
grusis currently undergoing early stages of development. It is unfinished and unstable. Storage format might change between releases, so task storage may be incompatible between releases.
- Quick workflow, minimizes number of keystrokes required for each operation
- BFS-based view of tasks inspired by broot
- Multiple tasks can have the same child task, inspired by grit
- vi-like key bindings
- Light on resources
