Getting Things GNOME!

Getting Things GNOME! (GTG) is a personal tasks and TODO list items organizer
for the GNOME desktop environment inspired by the Getting Things Done (GTD)
methodology. GTG is designed with flexibility, adaptability, and ease of use
in mind so it can be used as more than just GTD software.

GTG is intended to help you track everything you need to do and need to know,
from small tasks to large projects.

INSTALLING AND RUNNING

In order to download and run GTG Developer Version, do the following steps
(Debian-based systems):

$ git clone https://github.com/getting-things-gnome/gtg.git

$ sudo apt-get install python3-pip

Running of this developer version of GTG will not be possible without installing
liblarch at first so clone and install liblarch:

If prompted, you may be required to install also python3-xdg and python3-dbus packages manually. Simply write a command:

$ sudo apt-get install python3-xdg python3-dbus

Run the script again.

There are additional plugins (modules for extending the user interface) and
synchronization services (modules for importing/exporting tasks from/to
external services) which needs additional packages to work correctly.

HOW TO USE GTG?

Please refer to our documentation to get a thorough explanation on how GTG
works.

To do this, you will need the yelp help viewer. On Debian-based systems, you
can install yelp by executing this command:

$ sudo apt-get install yelp

You can then view the documentation either by accessing it through GTG (press
F1 or use the help menu), or by using the command line using the following
command:

$ yelp help:gtg

If you want to read the documentation directly from the source code, use
this command (from the source root dir):

$ yelp docs/userdoc/C/index.page
