NAME

tasksh - Interactive taskwarrior shell

SYNOPSIS

tasksh [<commands-file>]
 
tasksh --version

DESCRIPTION

The tasksh program can be used to create a more immersive task environment. Any task command you run outside the shell can also be run inside the shell, without the need to prefix every command with "task".
 
Moreover, task commands can be written in a file which can be passed or redirected to tasksh for batch execution.
$ tasksh

Enter any task command (such as 'list'), or hit 'Enter'.
 
There is no need to include the 'task' command itself.
 
Enter 'quit' to end the session.
