pt is a robust cli tool that interacts with pomotodo.
Make sure you have a working Go environment (go 1.1+ is required). See the install instructions.
To get pt, run:
$ go get github.com/aleccunningham/pt
To install it in your path so that ptcan be easily used:
$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/aleccunningham/pt
$ GOBIN="/usr/local/bin" go install
You can also use the official docker image hosted at r.kubernetes.lol.
$ make docker
$ docker run -t -v $(pwd)/config.yaml:/config.yaml r.kubernetes.lol/pt:$VERSION <command>
The start command will start tracking time for a given taskname. Note that a taskname cannot have white spaces, they serve as identifiers.
$ golog start {taskname}
To stop tracking use the stop command, if you want to resume a stopped task just golog start {taskname} again.
$ golog stop {taskname}
With the list command you can see all your tasks and see which of them are active.
$ golog list
0h:1m:10s create-readme (running)
0h:0m:44s do-some-task
If you only want to check the status of one task, use the status command.
$ golog status create-readme
0h:3m:55s create-readme (running)
The lifetime of the info I usually need is very short (actually is just a workday), in the next day it's unlikely that i'll need previous info. This is one case where clear command is handy.
$ golog clear
All tasks were deleted.
@TODO If you have any questions feel free to link @aleccunningham to the issue in question and we can review it together.
