goal

A little CLI to help you track (and stay on track) with your project's goals.

Warning

THIS IS VERY MUCH AN ACTIVE WORK IN PROGRESS

What problem does this solve?

Well, two really. I wanted a place to quickly write down ideas, bugs, todos, and all that without leaving my terminal. Second, I needed a way to get back into my project after leaving for a while (because life happens) -- I'm always starting projects then I get distracted and all my energy for the project leaves my body becaues I can't really remember the frame of mind I was in.

goal helps with both of these because it let's you quickly write things down:

$ goal new

And it uses Git under the hood, adding a little tag in your commit messages so you can see where you are/were:

$ goal status

Goal #1 - do a thing
