scythe-cli 1.4.2

A Harvest is always better with a good tool

Scythe

Scythe is a TUI and set of CLI utilties for interacting with the Harvest Time tracking Application

Installation

Installable via pip/pipx (pipx is recommended)

pipx install scythe-cli

Setup

First, you need to authenticate Scythe to your harvest account.

To do this, run the following command:

scythe init

This will open a new browser tab to perform an OAuth flow with Harvest. Once you have authenticated, you will be redirected to a page with a code. Copy this code and paste it into the terminal.

Usage

TUI

Start the TUI with

scythe

The interface has the following features:

• View all timers for a given day
• Start a new timer
• Stop a running timer
• Edit a Timer
• Delete a Timer

CLI

The CLI also has a few other utilties:

scythe timer - The Scythe Timer namespace has some utilties for interacting with timers. scythe timer --help for more info

scythe projects - List all the projects and tasks that you have access to

Quickstarting

Quickstarting is a feature of Scythe that allows you to start a timer with a single command. This is useful for setting up a timer for a task that you do frequently.

To create a new quickstart entry run:

scythe quickstart add <name>

This will create a new quickstart entry with the name <name>. It will prompt you with a list of projects and tasks to choose from (And optionally, a note & a command to execute after the timer start). Once you have completed the prompt, you can start the timer with:

scythe quickstart <name>

This will start a timer with the details you entered when creating the quickstart entry and will execute the command you entered (if any).
