SYNOPSIS

laydown [options]laydown did|doing|blocker|sidebar "item" ["item"...]

DESCRIPTION

laydown is a small command-line application that helps you remember what to say at your next daily standup meeting. Running it without arguments prints the standup, grouped into DID, DOING, BLOCKERS and SIDEBARS sections.Items are stored in a data file in the user's data directory, so they persist until you clear them. Each argument after a section command is added as a separate item, so quote items that contain spaces.

PARAMETERS

did ITEMS

Add items to the DID section.
doing ITEMS
Add items to the DOING section.
blocker ITEMS
Add items to the BLOCKERS section.
sidebar ITEMS
Add items to the SIDEBARS section.
--clear
Remove all items from the standup.
--edit [EDITOR]
Open the standup data file in $EDITOR; if it is unset, use the given editor (default vi).
--undo
Remove the last added item.
--archive
Save the standup to archive/YYYY-MM-DD.txt in the data directory and clear it (asks before overwriting an existing archive for today).
--data-dir
Print the location of the laydown data directory.
-h, --help
Display help information.
-V, --version
Display version information.

CAVEATS

Items are not cleared automatically after a standup; use --archive or --clear to start fresh. $EDITOR always takes precedence over the editor passed to --edit.

HISTORY

laydown was written in Rust by Bobby Dorrance and is distributed via crates.io.
