How to set or modify a task to be due end of day tomorrow with taskwarrior?


I would like to set the deadline for a task to be end of day tomorrow. The following was my first attempt:

task add 'Ask question about tw on StackOverflow' due:tomorrow eod

That fails, resulting in eod being appended to the description:

21 4s                                   14h Ask question about tw on StackOverflow eod              8.52

Is there a concise way of doing that? From the docs it seems hardcoding the date/time may be the only way: https://taskwarrior.org/docs/dates.html


Solution

  • You can do it like this:

    task add 'Ask question about tw on StackOverflow' due:tomorrow+24h
    

    Note that you can also abbreviate tomorrow with tom which would make the command

    task add 'Ask question about tw on StackOverflow' due:tom+24h
    

    See calc command documentation for more examples of the uses of arithmetic operators in Taskwarrior.
