log
The log command is the same as the add command, with one difference - the task is added in the completed state.
Sometimes it is necessary to record tasks that are already completed, if you are faithfully tracking work.
For example:
$ task log Order the materials +home +construction
This task is immediately recorded as completed, which means it will not be displayed on any report that shows pending tasks.
$ task log Order the materials start:2017-02-05 end:2017-02-06
This task is immediately recorded as completed with a beginning and an ending date.
