topydo: Add a to-do with a due date of Friday.
$ topydo add "${todo_message} due:${fri}"
try on your machine

This command is used in a task management system called topydo to add a new todo task with a due date.

Here's what each part of the command means:

  • topydo: This is the command that runs the topydo program.
  • add: This specifies that you want to add a new task to the list.
  • ${todo_message}: This is a placeholder for the actual text of the task you want to add. It could be something like "Buy groceries" or "Finish report".
  • due:${fri}: This sets the due date for the task using the variable ${fri}. The fri variable likely represents a specific date, such as Friday. By using this variable, you can easily change the due date without modifying the command itself.

To use this command effectively, you could replace ${todo_message} with the actual task you want to add, and ensure that the ${fri} variable represents the correct due date.

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.
