Report working time from the command line.

timereporter

Report working time from the command line.

Requirements

Python 3.6+, Windows/Linux/Mac.

Installation

Clone the repo and run python setup.py install in the root folder.

Yaml file path

The default path of the timereporter.yaml file that stores the calendar data is %USERPROFILE%\Dropbox\timereporter.yaml. To change this, set the TIMEREPORTER_FILE environment variable to the new path, e.g.

setx TIMEREPORTER_FILE "C:\mypath\timereporter.yaml"

Alias

It is recommended to set an alias for python -m timereporter, e.g. in .bashrc:

alias t='python -m timereporter'

The usage documentation below assumes that the above alias is set.

Customization

After running once, the timereporter.yaml file will be created. In this file, the following options can be set:

Default project name

To set another name for the default project, change the default_project_name variable. The default value is EPG Program.

Target hours per day

To set the target hours per day, edit the target_hours_per_day variable. The default value is 27900 seconds.

Usage

Report time on default project

t [<day> | [last | next] <weekday>] [came <time>] [left <time>] [lunch
<time>]

<time> must be in one of the following formats: 9, 9:00, 0900...

Additionally, lunch times can also be in one of the following formats: 45m, 45 min, ...

<day> must be one or more of

• yesterday,
• monday, Tuesday, ..., or
• an ISO 8601 date, e.g. 2017-04-01.

If <day> is not set, today's date will be used.

<weekday> must be one or more of monday, Tuesday, ...,

Create a new project

t project new [--no-work] <project-name>

If <project-name> is multiple words, enclose them in quotation marks, e.g. "My new project".

Time reported on projects tagged with --no-work reduces the required working time for that day. This can be used e.g. for part-time parental leave.

Report time on a project

t project (<project-name> | <project-number>) [<day>] <time>

There is no need to spell out the entire <project-name>, a part of it is enough. imp for My important project, for example.
