Backup Taskwarrior database to a git repository

task-git.sh

task-git.sh is a wrapper around Taskwarrior's task that places the task database in version control, and generates commits each time the task database is altered.

Usage

1. Navigate to your Taskwarrior data directory (usually in ~/.task) and type git init. If you plan to push to a remote, go ahead and add your remote now.
2. Add alias task=/path/to/task-git/task-git.sh to your .bashrc or .profile. If you want to push to a remote, then the alias should be alias task=/path/to/task-git/task-git.sh --task-git-push. Make sure you source the .bashrc or .profile.
3. Run chmod +x /path/to/task-git/task-git.sh.
4. Use task as normal; when run, the Taskwarrior database files will be committed to version control.

It is recommended to use the Taskwarrior database only on one machine, as you will be resolving conflicts if using the same task database on multiple machines.
