Adding Items

You need to enter data into wdid in order to use its powerful tagging and filtering capabilities. The primary way of doing this is through the add command. The simplest version of this is to just pass the data to be stored on the command line:

$ wdid add "remember the milk"
⇒ dewjba -- Sun, 10 Nov 2019 13:59:46
Data:
remember the milk

You can see that wdid returned some information about the newly created item - a six-character alphanumeric ID; a date and time, and the data for the item.

This ID, dewjba here, is used to identify the item uniquely. It is required when performing actions on said items.

The symbol in front of the status, ⇒, indicates that the item is in a waiting status.

Options

It's also possible to add a --time in wdid time format to mark that an item is for a specific day:

$ wdid add "call @bob" -t tomorrow

And it's possible to add an item in an already completed, done state:

$ wdid add "send email about project" -d

Longer Items

Not passing a description will use the configured shell $EDITOR (or vim).

$ wdid add
