This command is used to add a new task to the Topydo task manager.

Here is an explanation of each part of the command:

  • topydo: This is the command to execute Topydo, the task manager software.
  • add: This is the specific subcommand to tell Topydo that we want to add a new task.
  • ${todo_message}: This is a placeholder for the task message. You can replace it with the actual text of the task you want to add. For example, if you replace it with "Buy groceries", the command will add a task with the message "Buy groceries".
  • +${project_name}: This is a placeholder for the project name. Replace it with the name of the project to which the task belongs. For example, if you replace it with "+Personal", the task will be added to the "Personal" project.
  • @${context_name}: This is a placeholder for the context of the task. Replace it with the name of the context to which the task belongs. For example, if you replace it with "@Home", the task will be associated with the "Home" context.

Overall, this command allows you to add a new task to Topydo with a specific task message, project name, and context.
