Description
Problem
gog tasks add --repeat currently requires --repeat-count or --repeat-until, which creates many separate tasks up front.
For users who want an actual recurring task in Google Tasks, this is noisy and error-prone. It can flood task lists when someone expects one repeating item.
Requested behavior
Add support for creating a true recurring task that appears as a single task and rolls forward per recurrence settings, matching Google Tasks UI behavior.
Suggested UX
Examples:
gog tasks add <listId> --title "Monthly recurring task" --due 2026-03-04 --recur monthlygog tasks add <listId> --title "..." --due 2026-03-04 --recur "FREQ=MONTHLY;INTERVAL=1"
Potential options:
--recur daily|weekly|monthly|yearly--recur-rrule <RRULE>for advanced users- keep current
--repeat-count/--repeat-untilbehavior as a separate materialize-tasks mode
Why this helps
- Prevents accidental task duplication
- Aligns CLI behavior with user expectations from Google Tasks
- Better for productivity workflows where only next occurrence should be active
Happy to test and provide more examples if useful.
