localtodo Description

localtodo is a .gitignore local todo files, but sync them through Dropbox.What this isI like to use a LOCAL_TODO file for each of my projects as a whiteboard for ideas, notes on what is currently being worked on (useful when coming back to a project after some time), and things in that vein.Because these files are not under version control, I use Dropbox to sync them across machines (this also serves as a backup).What this script does is place such a file in a shared folder (for example, managed by Dropbox), and then links this file into the current directory.How to useInstall via: easy_install localtodoAdd the following line to your .gitignore file (or something equivalent for the respective ignore mechanism of your version control system):/LOCAL_TODO*The trailing wildcard will allows for multiple todo files, something this script supports.In your project directory, run:$ localtodo --to ~/Dropbox/todofilesCreating new empty file ~/Dropbox/todofiles/myprojectI have established the following links for you: ./LOCAL_TODO --> ~/Dropbox/todofiles/myprojectNoteThe --to argument is only required the first time and is cached in ~/.localtodo.As you can see, this created a new file in your chosen folder, and created a link to it in the current directory.By default, the name of the todo file will be inferred from the basename of the current directory. You can also specify a custom name:$ localtodo fooCreating new empty file ~/Dropbox/todofiles/fooI have established the following links for you: ./LOCAL_TODO --> ~/Dropbox/todofiles/fooIf the todo file already exists, it will not be overridden. If a LOCAL_TODO file already exists in the current directory, it will be used and copied. So when you start working on your project on a different machine, you again run the script:$ localtodoFound existing file ~/Dropbox/todofiles/fooI have established the following links for you: ./LOCAL_TODO --> ~/Dropbox/todofiles/fooMultiple todo files for one projectIt's possible to create sub-todos:$ localtodo -s docsCreating new empty file ~/Dropbox/todos/myproject.docsI have established the following links for you: ./LOCAL_TODO.docs --> ~/Dropbox/todos/myproject.docsWhen running localtodo, it will find all the todo files related to the current project, and link all of them into the current directory.Product's homepage
