What if your todolist is too large? Store it somewhere else (in you homedir, no need for a sudo) and add

  head -n 10 ~/todo.md

to your .bashrc/.zshrc to show 10 most prioritised tasks on each session startup.

+1 Thanks, good idea. I put my todo.txt in my Dropbox folder for manual access on my android phone and iPad, and for automatic viewing on opening a new shell tab.

Nice, store todo.md in a cloud drive and you'll have it show up on all of your computers.

[jmnicolas]

So you're storing a file on a public server that is beyond your control and you make your shell read it every time you launch it ?

What could possibly go wrong ?! ;-)

[Touche]

head just prints the contents of the file, it doesn't execute anything.

[intortus]

and neither does my terminal emulator...

[dkersten]

Pipe it through something that strips control characters before printing perhaps?

[girvo]

Wow, that's a really neat idea. I'm definitely going to try this, cheers.

This may break scp when copying from a remote host which has this in the .bashrc.

[uggedal]

No, it will not.
