Hi there!
I'm trying to learn about org-mode habits. Every time I write a new habit, I can see the color bar on the right, but after I mark the habit as "Done", it never appears again, I wonder if somebody could give me some advice, on how to fix this.

Thanks in advance.

Could you give us some more information?  For example, a sample habit
entry that displays this behavior would be useful.

Best,
Josiah

Hi Javier,

Thanks for the more detailed information.  This is helpful.  Please
continue to cc the org-mode list your responses.

If I follow your example, I observe the same behavior.  Though I dispute
that the habit won't appear again: I think it will, just in 2 days, when
it is time for you to do that habit again.  So as I understand it, you
are observing the expected behavior.

If this is not what you want, you may want to look at the ways to
customize org-habit, in particular

,----
| (defcustom org-habit-show-all-today nil
|   "If non-nil, will show the consistency graph of all habits on
| today's agenda, even if they are not scheduled."
|   :group 'org-habit
|   :type 'boolean)
`----

If I 
  (setq org-habit-show-all-today t)
then all habits are shown, even ones which I don't need to do today.  At
least to me, this sounds like the behavior you are seeking.

Hope that helps,
Josiah

Please CC the org-mode list in your responses.  Others can join the
conversation and the results will be archived for use by future users.

Here I was just quoting from org-habit.el.  This is not something you
would add you your .emacs.

I'm still not exactly sure what behavior you want, but it seems like
you want to customize one or the other of

,----
| (defcustom org-habit-show-habits-only-for-today t
|   "If non-nil, only show habits on today's agenda, and not for future days.
| Note that even when shown for future days, the graph is always
| relative to the current effective date."
|   :group 'org-habit
|   :type 'boolean)
`----

,----
| (defcustom org-habit-show-all-today nil
|   "If non-nil, will show the consistency graph of all habits on
| today's agenda, even if they are not scheduled."
|   :group 'org-habit
|   :type 'boolean)
`----

For example, suppose that I want habits shown today and at their future
scheduled date.  Then with the attached minimal startup file (adjust
paths as necessary and start emacs with "emacs -Q -l minimal-org.el")
and orgmode 8.2.4, I see consistency graphs as one expects.
