Quick capture

Create tiki tasks straight from the command line

First line becomes the title. Everything after becomes the description.

Examples

Quick capture an idea

echo "cool idea" | tiki

Turn a GitHub issue into a tiki task

gh issue view 42 --json title,body -q '"\(.title)\n\n\(.body)"' | tiki

Capture a bug report from an API

curl -s https://sentry.io/api/issues/latest/ | jq -r '.title' | tiki

Scan a log file and create a task for every error

grep ERROR server.log | sort -u | while read -r line; do echo "$line" | tiki; done

Create a task from a file

tiki < bug-report.md

Bulk-import tasks from a file

while read -r line; do echo "$line" | tiki; done < backlog.txt

Chain with other tools

id=$(echo "Deploy v2.3 to staging" | tiki) && echo "Tracked as $id"

Input format

Input Title Description
echo "Fix the bug" Fix the bug (empty)
printf "Title\n\nDetails here" Title Details here
