= freshtrack
== DESCRIPTION:
Freshtrack is used to automatically create time entries in FreshBooks from your own tracked time.
== FEATURES/PROBLEMS:
* Simple and easy to use
* Modular time-collector system
== SYNOPSIS:
$ freshtrack proj
or
$ freshtrack proj --before 2008-08-16
or! (if you really want)
require 'freshtrack'
Freshtrack.init
Freshtrack.track('proj', :before => Time.parse('2008-08-16'))
== REQUIREMENTS:
* a time collector (see below)
* freshbooks (gem)
* A FreshBooks account
* a configuration file located at ~/.freshtrack.yml and looking like
---
collector: one_inch_punch
company: Company Name
token: API Token
project_task_mapping:
project_name:
:project: FreshBooks Project Name
:task: FreshBooks Task Name
(The 'Company Name' is the XXX in 'XXX.freshbooks.com'. The 'project_name' is the XXX in 'punch list XXX'.)
The 'collector' is what freshtrack will use to gather the time data that will end up as FreshBooks time entries.
Freshtrack ships with two collectors: 'punch' and 'one_inch_punch'. These are both gems that can be installed (by `gem install [collector name]`) and used without much effort. If these time-tracking tools aren't to your liking, you are free to write your own collector. Further documentation on that is forthcoming, but for now just take a look at the two collectors that already exist.
== INSTALL:
* gem install freshtrack
== THANKS:
* Kevin Barnes and Rick Bradley, for giving me a reason to track time and invoice people for it
* The FreshBooks team, for making invoicing easy
