Tracks 1.5 is out

We released Tracks 1.5 today. Tracks is the open source Rails app for implementing the Getting Things Done system. I contributed heavily to this app in the too-long time since the last stable release. Big kudos and thanks go to Reinier Balt in the Netherlands, who contributed some great statistical visualizations and generally ran the project the past few months while bsag and I have been busy with out professional commitments.

Anyway, lots of great changes since 1.043. Check it out and let us know what you think.

capistrano task autocompletion for bash

Remembering all those capistrano tasks can be tough for the sleep-impaired startup employee.... Help yourself out with this autocomplete script:

PLAIN TEXT

RUBY:

#!/usr/bin/env ruby
# Save this somewhere, chmod 755 it, then add
# complete -C path/to/this/script -o default cap
# to your ~/.bashrc
#
# If you update your tasks, just $ rm ~/.captabs*
#
exit 0 unless /^cap\b/ =~ ENV["COMP_LINE"]
def cap_silent_tasks
if File.exists?(dotcache = File.join(File.expand_path('~'), ".captabs-#{Dir.pwd.hash}"))
File.read(dotcache)
else
tasks = `cap -qT`
tasks = tasks.select{|task| task =~ /^cap/ }.join
File.open(dotcache, 'w') { |f| f.puts tasks }
tasks
end
end
after_match = $'
task_match = (after_match.empty? || after_match =~ /\s$/) ? nil : after_match.split.last
tasks = cap_silent_tasks.split("\n")[1..-1].map { |line| line.split[1] }
tasks = tasks.select { |t| /^#{Regexp.escape task_match}/ =~ t } if task_match
# handle namespaces
if task_match =~ /^([-\w:]+:)/
upto_last_colon = $1
after_match = $'
tasks = tasks.map { |t| (t =~ /^#{Regexp.escape upto_last_colon}([-\w:]+)$/) ? "#{$1}" : t }
end
puts tasks
exit 0
