pueue-edit: Edit a command with the specified editor.
$ EDITOR=${nano} pueue edit ${task_id}
try on your machine

This command sets the EDITOR environment variable to nano and then runs the pueue edit command, which opens a text editor for editing a specific task identified by ${task_id}.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  1. EDITOR=${nano}: This sets the EDITOR environment variable to nano, indicating that the text editor to be used is the nano editor. The ${} syntax is used to reference the value of a variable (nano in this case).

  2. pueue edit ${task_id}: This is the command that is executed next. It uses the pueue command-line tool to open a text editor for editing the task with the specified ${task_id}. The ${} syntax is again used to reference the value of the ${task_id} variable.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
