Locally

Usage

Start tracking

timetrack

or

tt

If using git, run timetrack inside the repo to allow tracking against a branch name. It will check the current window and try to extract a Jira ticket number from the title (e.g. FOO-1234). If the current window is VSCode, it will use the ticket number in the branch or the branch name itself of the repo that timetrack was run in.

Custom Task Patterns

To help track against common tasks, you can create a transforms.json file in the /path/to/home/tt directory. This way when you are active on a window with a title matching one of these patterns, it will track against the respective task name. Patterns are used in top-to-bottom priority.

{
  ".*Foo|Bar.*": "TST-3",
  "Word.*": "Uni Work",
  ".*TMA|EMA.*": "Uni Work",
  ".*Meet.*": "Meetings"
}

Get time

timetrack --today
timetrack -t
timetrack --all
timetrack -a

Export Time

To export your tracked time in a way that can be imported into Jira timesheets, use the following command. Note, currently there is no way to select certain dates to export so all tracked time will be exported. Once tracked time has been imported into jira, you can delete the xx-xx-xxxx.csv files in /path/to/home/tt/time_tracking/.

timetrack --export
timetrack -e

This will export a .csv file to /path/to/home/tt/export.csv
