   5 # Description:
   6 # This hook runs `task sync` in the background at the start of each task command, except
   7 # `task sync` itself.
   8 #
   9 # Usage: simply copy this file to ~/.tasks/hooks, or whatever your hooks directory is
  10 # as specified in you taskrc file.
  11 #
  12 # Compatibility: This hook uses the Hooks V2 API (https://taskwarrior.org/docs/hooks2.html)
  13 # So, it works with TaskWarrior 2.4.3+
