A small script that will keep looping adding tasks to a project in taskwarrior

taskloop

TASK=/usr/local/bin/task
#Flag to break out of the while loop

COUNT=0
TAGS='+work'

#were we given a project name?  Nope?  Ask for one
if [ -z $1 ];then
	echo -n "Which project? "

fi
	
#Ignore $1, for tags
shift
for tag in "$@"
do
	if [ $tag == "" ];then
		echo "not adding nothing"
	else
		TAGS="$TAGS +$tag"
	fi
done
#Loop through the tasks, adding to the project
echo "Adding to project: $PROJECT"
echo "Using tags: $TAGS"

while [ $CONTINUE -eq 1 ]; do
	echo -n 'Task Description (<CR> to end): '
	read TASKDESC
	if [[ $TASKDESC == '' ]]; then
		echo "$(basename $0) processed $COUNT tasks"
		if [[ $COUNT -gt 0 ]];then
			echo "Syncing to remote" && ${TASK} sync
		fi
		exit 0
	else

		COUNT=$((COUNT+1))
