# Convert GTasks semi-automatically into a weekly or monthly status
# report. This happens to convert into TiddlyWiki format, but it should
# be no harder to do markdown, moin, or mediawiki. This script is more
# about the idea, and some fun showing off how to invoke ‘sed’ from
# shebang, and using ‘xsel’. Tweak as you see fit!
# 
# Why bother? Can’t be sure how long your completed tasks will be
# available, so it’s nice to keep a record of your own. Maybe your boss

Installing to Arch Linux

Installation (packaging) is the main point of this tiny package. I wanted to use a tiny project to serve as an example of how to install directly from github (a gist!) to Arch Linux.
