Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install tasksh on Fedora 34.

What is `tasksh`

Tasksh is a shell command that wraps Taskwarrior commands. It is intended to provide simpler Taskwarrior access, and add a few new features of its own. Tasksh replaces the built-in shell command of older releases, and the bundled tasksh program of version 2.3.0. The former was very limited and the latter unsupported, buggy and flawed.
