FAQPage Schema
How do I find all TODO and FIXME comments in my code repository?▼

You can locate all TODO and FIXME comments in your code repository by running a parsing script across specified directories, which generates a comprehensive inventory of pending tasks for your development workflow.

What is the best way to triage TODO comments across a large codebase?▼

Triage TODO comments across a large codebase by extracting them and organizing the results by file, context, and suggested urgency, which streamlines task management and highlights critical items for immediate attention.

Can I search for TODO comments in specific directories rather than the whole project?▼

Yes, you can search for TODO comments in specific directories by providing target paths to the parsing script, which limits the inventory scope and generates a prioritized list of tasks only for those specified locations.

How do I group extracted TODO comments by file and urgency for task management?▼

Group extracted TODO comments by file and urgency by using a task inventorying script that organizes parsing results by file path, surrounding context, and suggested urgency to streamline your development workflow.

Do I need any external dependencies to extract FIXME and TODO comments from my code?▼

No, you do not need external dependencies to extract FIXME and TODO comments from your code, as the required parsing scripts operate independently without additional environment setup to locate comment markers.
