How I use dsu daily as an Agile developer - gangelo/dsu GitHub Wiki

As of dsu 3.0.0, this is typically how I use dsu every day, as a software engineer practicing Agile.

In the morning

Select the `dsu` project I want to work with

Typically, I start off working with my "default" project; consequently, the below commands do not need to specify PROJECT_NAME or PROJECT_NUMBER.

dsu project use

dsu p u # Equivalent to the above, only using shortcuts

NOTE: see Managing dsu Projects, Using a project and Managing dsu Projects, Designating the default project for more information on working with dsu projects.

View yesterday's DSU entries

NOTE: The dsu list command, when displaying Daily Stand-up (DSU) entries for a particular day or date, will display the DSU entries for the given day or date, as well as the DSU entries for the previous day, relative to the given day or date. For more information, see Listing DSU entries.

dsu list today

dsu l n # Equivalent to the above, only using shortcuts

Update yesterday's DSU entries (if needed)

dsu edit yesterday

dsu e y # Equivalent to the above, only using shortcuts

Before Daily Standup (DSU)

Add today's DSU entries

dsu add "Somethings I need to share at DSU today..."

# Equivalent to the above, only using shortcuts
dsu a "Somethings I need to share at DSU today..."

NOTE: If you have more than one DSU entry to add at a time, you can add them all at once using the dsu edit command. See the Edit today's DSU entries.

Edit today's DSU entries

NOTE: When editing dsu entries, if there are no DSU entries for that date, dsu will search (from today - 1 day, searching back at most today - 7 days) and copy the most recent DSU entries found, into the editor session, if the dsu carry_over_entries_to_today configuration setting is 'true'. See Editing DSU entries.

dsu edit today

dsu e n # Equivalent to the above, only using shortcuts

Throughout the rest of the day

Add DSU entries

Add a single DSU entry for Today

dsu add "Some entry for today" # Added to "today" by default, when no options are provided

dsu a "Some entry for today" # Equivalent to the above, only using shortcuts

dsu add --today "Some entry for today"

dsu a -n "Some entry for today" # Equivalent to the above, only using shortcuts

Add a single DSU entry for Yesterday

dsu add --yesterday "Some entry for yesterday"

dsu a -y "Some entry for yesterday" # Equivalent to the above, only using shortcuts

Add a single DSU entry for Tomorrow

dsu add --tomorrow "Some entry for tomorrow"

dsu a -t "Some entry for tomorrow" # Equivalent to the above, only using shortcuts

Add a single DSU entry for an arbitrary date

dsu add --date 1/3/2023 "Some entry for 1/3/2023"

dsu a -d 1/3/2023 "Some entry for 1/3/2023"
