dsu

dsu is a ruby gem that enables anyone practicing Agile methodology to record, keep track of and manage their daily standup (DSU) activities.

• dsu uses no network connections whatsoever.
• dsu stores all of its data locally, in .json files.
• dsu is a simple (but powerful) command-line tool for users who love to work within the terminal.
• dsu versioning follows the semantic versioning standard (MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH).
  • See the CHANGELOG.md before upgrading to a MAJOR dsu version.
  • See the Exporting DSU entries wiki on how to export (backup) your data.

Installation

gem install dsu

Displaying help

After installation (gem install dsu), the first thing you may want to do is run the dsu help.

From your terminal...

dsu help

dsu # Equivalent to the above

Displaying command help

Typing dsu help <COMMAND> where COMMAND is the name of any dsu command, will display the help for that command. For example:

dsu help add

dsu h a # Equivalent to the above, only using shorthand

Displaying subcommand help

You can display help for any command subcommand.

Some dsu commands have subsequent subcommands. For example, dsu commands that display the SUBCOMMAND banner, have subsequent subcommands.

Typing dsu <COMMAND> help <SUBCOMMAND> where SUBCOMMAND is the name of any subcommand corresponding to COMMAND, will display the help for that subcommand.

Examples

dsu help edit

You can display help for any of these subcommands. For example:
