Quick little tip for anyone who likes using habitica and also happen to use
Gnome Shell. I’ve been using Gnome-Pomodoro For
scheduling breaks and staying on task. I noticed the app also has support for
Custom actions. This can be really useful to update habitica habits when a pom

You could also directly call the habitica program from the custom actions
window, but this will let you update/delete habits and still allow the script

Possible Issues:
- Script only looks for two digit numbers in order to grab the correct habit to
update, You can change this accordingly. Check out this page for using regex with grep - Might break on updates to the habitica CLI
