NAME

Taskwarrior::Kusarigama::Plugin::Morning - run the garbage collector on first invocation of the day

VERSION

version 0.12.0

DESCRIPTION

Runs the garbage collector if this is the first invocation of taskwarrior of the day.

How is this plugin useful? Well, by default, taskwarrior runs its garbage collection each time it's run. The problem is, that garbage collection compact (and thus changes) the task ids, so in-between my last task list and now, the ids might be different. That's a pain. But if the garbage collection is not run, hidden tasks and recurring tasks won't be unhidden/created. That's a bigger pain.

My solution? Disable the garbage collecting,

$ task config rc.gc off

But of course we still want the garbage collection to happen regularly. Hence this plugin, which runs the garbage collection on the first c<task> command of the day.
