Purpose

When writing code, it's really REALLY easy to put a TODO in your code as a reminder to look at something later on. In small projects, you'll see those reminders every time you open up the relevant files. In big projects with multiple contributors, these can get unwieldly.

Without a proper strategy to work through them, your todos will only ever expand. Toodaloo extracts these into a central file which can be tracked.

Install

Docker

docker run \
  -it \
  --rm \
  -v /path/to/dir:/data \
  ghcr.io/mrsimonemms/toodaloo

Go

go install github.com/mrsimonemms/toodaloo@latest

Commands

Scan

Scan a project

Usage:
  toodaloo scan [flags]

Flags:
      --git-files              get files from the git tree
      --glob string            glob pattern - ignored if files provided as arguments (default "**/*")
  -h, --help                   help for scan
      --ignore-paths strings   ignore scanning these files (default [.git/**/*])
  -o, --output string          output type (default "yaml")
  -s, --save-path string       save report to path - use "-" to output to stdout (default ".toodaloo.yaml")
  -t, --tags strings           todo tags (default [fixme,todo,@todo])

Global Flags:
  -d, --directory string   working directory (default "/workspaces/toodaloo")
  -l, --log-level string   log level: trace, debug, info, warning, error, fatal, panic (default "info")

Pre-commit hook

A supported pre-commit hook is provided to scan repos.

repos:
  - repo: https://github.com/mrsimonemms/toodaloo
    rev: "" # Use the ref you want to point at
    hooks:
      - id: scan

This will generate a Markdown formatted file at toodaloo.md. It also only scans files in the git tree.

If using in CI, you will need to clone the whole Git history for the "get author" functionality to work
