Timer

Set up

1. Download to your computer
2. Open your .bash_profile
3. Insert the following code anywhere:

function timer() {
    python path/to/timer.py
}
function pomodorro() {
    python path/to/pomodorro.py
}

Caveats

Only works on MacOS

Requires your python cli command to use python 3.6+. Check it by running python --version. You might need to upgrade or use python3 in the bash functions.
