How do you manage todos in your code base? Usually people use comments like # TODO to specify todos in the code base and then use grep '# TODO' to grab them.

With rubytodo gem you can specify your todo anywhere in your code with todo "todo description" and then you can list all todos with a command rubytodo.

gem install 'rubytodo'

Add todo in your ruby file:

require 'rubytodo'

class MyClass
  def my_method
    todo "implement my_method"
  end
end

Then list todos in all ruby files under a given root folder:

$ rubytodo lib
Scanning todos in lib ...
lib/my_class.rb
* implement my_method
