How I use dsu daily as an Agile developer
As of dsu 3.0.0, this is typically how I use dsu every day, as a software engineer practicing Agile.
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.
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
dsu edit yesterday
dsu e y # Equivalent to the above, only using shortcuts
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.
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
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
dsu add --yesterday "Some entry for yesterday"
dsu a -y "Some entry for yesterday" # Equivalent to the above, only using shortcuts
dsu add --tomorrow "Some entry for tomorrow"
dsu a -t "Some entry for tomorrow" # Equivalent to the above, only using shortcuts
dsu add --date 1/3/2023 "Some entry for 1/3/2023"
dsu a -d 1/3/2023 "Some entry for 1/3/2023"
NOTE: The dsu edit command will allow you to edit all the DSU entries for the given day or date.
dsu edit today
dsu e n # Equivalent to the above, only using shortcuts
dsu edit yesterday
dsu e y # Equivalent to the above, only using shortcuts
dsu edit tomorrow

dsu list today
dsu l n # Equivalent to the above, only using shortcuts
dsu list yesterday
dsu l y # Equivalent to the above, only using shortcuts

dsu l t # Equivalent to the above, only using shortcuts
This lists one weeks worth of DSU entries (backwards) from today's date, see See also.
dsu list dates --from today --to -6
dsu l dd -f n -t -6 # Equivalent to the above, only using shortcuts
This lists DSU entries within a given date range.
dsu list dates --from 12/1/2023 --to 1/3
dsu l dd -f 12/1/2023 -t 1/3 # Equivalent to the above, only using shortcuts
