The todo command is a basic utility designed for managing a simple todo list directly from the Linux command line. It provides functionalities to add, list, mark as done, and remove tasks. It is a lightweight solution that stores todo items in a plain text file (~/.todo) by default, making it easily editable with any text editor. The command prioritizes ease of use and simplicity, offering a fast way to keep track of tasks without the overhead of more complex task management systems.
It's important to note that 'todo' might refer to different implementations depending on the distribution or installed packages. This JSON description covers the generally available implementation found widely used on Linux.

The 'todo' command's functionality is limited to basic task management. It doesn't support features like due dates, priorities, or task categories natively. The data is stored in a plain text file, making it vulnerable to corruption if not handled carefully or if the file is accidentally edited incorrectly.

By default, todo stores items into a file named '.todo' located in the user's home directory (~/.todo). The format is a simple list, with each line representing a task. The status of the task (done or not done) is usually indicated with some kind of a character such as 'x'.
