icalbuddy: Show tasks for a specified number of days.
$ icalBuddy --includeOnlyEventsFromNowOn "tasksDueBefore:today+${8}"
try on your machine

This command is using the "icalBuddy" tool to display events from a specific date and time onwards, filtering out any tasks that are due before a certain date.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

  • "icalBuddy": It refers to a command-line utility tool that interacts with iCal (Apple Calendar) on macOS, used for retrieving and working with calendar data.

  • "--includeOnlyEventsFromNowOn": It is an option or flag for the "icalBuddy" tool. In this case, it instructs the tool to only include events that occur from the current date and time onwards.

  • "tasksDueBefore:today+${8}": This is an argument or parameter supplied to the "icalBuddy" command. It specifies a filter for tasks that are due before a certain date. In this case, "today+${8}" is used.

    • "today" represents the current date.
    • "+${8}" specifies an offset of 8 days from the current date.

    So, the command will display events starting from now, while also filtering out any tasks that are due before 8 days from the current date.
