$ brew install todoist

AUR

Nix/NixOS

nix-env -iA nixos.todoist

It's important to notice that if you're using NixOS, the cache and config file will be present at your home directory: ~/.todoist.cache.json and ~/.todoist.config.json.

Docker

$ git clone https://github.com/sachaos/todoist.git
$ cd todoist
$ make docker-build token=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
$ make docker-run

You will be running the next commands from inside the container.

PS: We add a step that is run sync before any command, so you will be always up to date!

Build it yourself

You need go 1.12.

$ mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/github.com/sachaos
$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/sachaos
$ git clone https://github.com/sachaos/todoist.git
$ cd todoist
$ make install

Register API token

When you run todoist first time, you will be asked your Todoist API token. Please input Todoist API token and register it. In order to get your API token go to https://todoist.com/prefs/integrations

Sync

After register API token, you should sync with todoist.com by sync sub command, like below.

$ todoist sync

Use with peco/fzf

RECOMMENDED

Install peco and load todoist_functions.sh on your .zshrc, like below.

fish version is here. ka2n/fish-peco_todoist Thanks @ka2n!

If you would prefer to use fzf instead load todoist_functions_fzf.sh like below.

fish version is here. mordax7/fish-fzf-todoist

$ source "$GOPATH/src/github.com/sachaos/todoist/todoist_functions.sh"

If installed via homebrew

If installed via homebrew and using zsh (usually this is added to your .zshrc without the $, usually before loading your ZSH plugin manager):

For peco:

$ source $(brew --prefix)/share/zsh/site-functions/_todoist_peco

For fzf:

$ source $(brew --prefix)/share/zsh/site-functions/_todoist_fzf

TODO: fish + homebrew

 t p: select project with peco
 t l: select labels with peco
 t c: select task and close with peco
 t d: select date

You can also enable shell completion by adding the following lines to your .bashrc/.zshrc files.
