Does this have the same gtasks API limitations as the rest, namely that it can't set or retrieve task deadline *time*?

I have not yet worked with this feature. I will check this and let you know.

No idea why the comment posted by the original poster has been killed, I suspect because the tool was created using a generative model. While this is probably true that does not mean the comment is worthless so I'll just repeat it here. To the downvoters, get a grip, post a comment on your dislike of generated code but stop the stupid downvoting already, your personal hangups do not align with those of all other participants.

I got tired of browser tabs just to tick off a task, so I built a zero-telemetry CLI that talks straight to the Google Tasks API.

Highlights - Full CRUD + interactive picker (vim keys, fuzzy find) - Multi-account: Personal & work at the same time - Auto tag extraction ([bug], [urgent]) + duplicate killer - 9 built-in reports (JSON/CSV/HTML): “What did I finish this month?” - External-editor support: 'gtasks edit 42' opens $EDITOR - Privacy: Nothing leaves your machine—OAuth tokens live in ~/.gtasks

Install (Python ≥ 3.7) Windows (PowerShell): python -m pip install gtasks-cli python -c "import urllib.request; exec(urllib.request.urlopen('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sirusdas/gtasks-terminal/0...())"

macOS / Linux: curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sirusdas/gtasks-terminal/0... | python3

After install, restart terminal and run: gtasks auth # one-time browser flow gtasks advanced-sync gtasks interactive

Issues and PRs welcome—I'd love to hear how you use Google Tasks from the terminal!

I would like to really appreciate your reply and taking a stand. The only reason for sharing this here is to share something that can help people solve a problem and yes I have used AI while developing this but that does mean AI has developed this solution on its own. For someting which would have taken months has been achieved in days. If people try to contribute with AI, we can achieve even more. Days have arrived where now AI is doing end to end work and we discarding them too?
