Verbosity

Taskwarrior provides feedback when commands are run, the amount of which can be controlled. There is a configuration variable named verbose that can be set to different values to control verbosity. By default, the value is:

verbose=yes

This value causes Taskwarrior to show all feedback. Conversely it can be set to:

verbose=no

This restricts the amount of feedback, but still retains useful information. To remove all feedback, use the setting:

verbose=nothing

Fine Control

Individual verbosity settings can be specified, in this form:

verbose=footnote,label

The value in this case consists of two tokens which cause footnotes to be shown after the tasks in a report, and table column labels.

Verbosity Tokens

Token	Meaning
blank	Inserts blank lines in the output to separate the task lists from other feedback.
header	Shows information before the task list, regarding aliases or the default command.
footnote	Shows information after the task list, such as configuration overrides.
label	Shows column labels for tabular output.
new-id	When adding a task, shows the newly-created ID value.
