Description

one should be able to set configuration variables in .taskrc via task itself - like you can with git. Perhaps something like git config rc.dateformat:yMD could be used. This would set the dateformat variable in .taskrc to yMD in this example.

History

I think the following might be a better way, and more closely copies git:

To set < name > equal to < value >:

$ task config < name > < value >

Are you sure? Y/n

To set < name > to blank (ie not the default value):

$ task config < name > "" 

Are you sure? Y/n

To remove < name > from .taskrc (and thereby use the default:

$ task config < name >

Are you sure? Y/n

Any thoughts?

I hadn't seen that in git since I've typically just edited the file directly, but the pattern makes sense. If we were using a "set" keyword or the like, I'd say go with the antonym (e.g., "unset"), but I like your example.
