simple command line tool to record free text with a time-stamp and aggregate time spent on projects
Clone this repo and add it to your PATH.
Now any text you write on the command line starting with an i will be logged into the text-file times.txt, together with the current time-stamp.
> i just pushed timetrack to github > cat times.txt 2015/01/30 18:27 | just pushed timetrack to github Timetrack also supports subjects for certain topics by passing the -project parameter. You can either do this manually, via an alias or via wrapper files.
Writing timetrack '-project' 'some-project' some text with a subject will create the following entry
~ tail times.txt 2015/01/30 18:28 | [some-project] some text with a subject # using an alias alias ibm='~/timetrack/timetrack.py "-project" "IBM"' ~ ibm fixing thing A 2019/07/18 07:23 | [IBM] fixing thing AYou can get an overview of time spent on a project for today, current week, current month
