Vacation Tracker

A command-line tool to track and manage vacation periods with support for holidays and date ranges. This tool helps you manage your vacation days, taking into account:

• Vacation day entitlements per month
• Public holidays based on country/region
• Weekend exclusions
• Year transitions and expiration dates
• Detailed summaries and reporting

Installation

Install using pip:

pip install vacation-tracker

Configuration

First, create a new tracking configuration:

vacation-tracker new --days 2.5 --first-year 2023 --first-month 1 \
                     --last-year 2024 --last-month 12 \
                     --special-days 12-31 --special-days 01-02

This creates a vacation-periods.toml file with your vacation tracking settings. The configuration includes:

• Days earned per month
• Tracking period (start/end dates)
• Country/region for holiday calculations
• List of vacation periods

Example configuration:

days-per-month = 2.5
first-year = "2023-01" # Start tracking from January 2023
last-year = "2024-12"  # Track until December 2024
country = ["DE", "BY"]  # Germany, Bavaria region
categories = ["public", "catholic"]  # Holiday categories to consider
special-days = ["12-31"] # Special days to exclude from vacation calculation
