The ‘pueue edit’ command allows you to edit the command or path of a stashed or queued task. This can be useful when you need to make changes to a task that is already in the queue or stashed.

Use case 1: Edit a task

Code:

pueue edit task_id

Motivation: You may need to make changes to a specific task that is already in the queue or stashed. By using the ‘pueue edit’ command followed by the task ID, you can modify the command associated with the task.

Explanation: ‘pueue edit’ is the command to edit a specific task. ’task_id’ is the ID of the task you want to edit. You can find the task ID by running the ‘pueue status’ command.

Example OUTPUT:

Task with ID 1 has been edited.

Use case 2: Edit the path from which a task is executed

Code:

pueue edit task_id --path

Motivation: Sometimes, you may want to change the path from which a task is executed. This can be useful when you want to run the task from a different directory.

Explanation: By adding the ‘–path’ flag to the ‘pueue edit’ command, you can edit the path from which the task is executed. ’task_id’ is the ID of the task you want to edit, which can be found using the ‘pueue status’ command.

Example OUTPUT:

Path for task with ID 1 has been edited to /path/to/directory.

Use case 3: Edit a command with the specified editor

Code:

EDITOR=nano pueue edit task_id

Motivation: If you prefer to use a specific editor, such as Nano, to edit the command of a task, you can specify it using the ‘EDITOR’ environment variable.

Explanation: In this example, ‘EDITOR=nano’ sets the ’nano’ text editor as the default editor for the ‘pueue edit’ command. ’task_id’ is the ID of the task you want to edit.

Example OUTPUT:

Using Nano as the default editor, open the file to edit the command for task with ID 1.

Conclusion:

The ‘pueue edit’ command is a handy tool for editing queued or stashed tasks. Whether you need to modify the command, change the execution path, or use a specific editor, the ‘pueue edit’ command provides the flexibility to make these changes easily.
