Taskwarrior Default Date Time Tracking Hook

This is a pair of hooks for TaskWarrior (http://www.taskwarrior.org), which allow you to set a different time when specifying due time using only dates.

Install

Note: This hook has been rewritten to leverage taskpirate, for greater hook efficiency. Please see https://github.com/tbabej/taskpirate for instructions. Don't worry, it's straightforward.

git clone https://github.com/tbabej/taskwarrior-default-date-time-hook.git ~/.task/hooks/default-time

This hook leverages tasklib, so you need to install that too:

pip --user install tasklib

Configuration

Edit the script and set your desired default time (in your local timezone). For default task date time of 21:30, it should look as follows:

DEFAULT_TIME = time(21,30,0)  # Your wanted default time

Example of usage

Add a task that has specified due time, but only as a date.

$ task add test due:today
Created task 4.
Default due time has been set.

We can see the message is outputted to notify us that custom default due time has been used. Indeed, if we check:

$ task 4 info

Name          Value

                               due 0.723  *   12 =  8.67

We can see this task has due time of 22:00.
