You can quickly run a todo instance from source using the Makefile:
$ git clone https://github.com/prologic/todo.git
$ cd todo
$ make
Then todo will be running at: http://localhost:8000
By default todo stores todos in todo.db
in the local directory.
This can be configured with the -dbpath=/path/to/todo.db
option.
You can pass in the other environment variables using the flag notation as well, for example:
$ todo -maxitems=20 -maxtitlelength=50 -theme=nord
