About

zx is a simple file-based time-tracking utility to help with invoicing and itemizing work done.

File Format

A sample of the format:

2015/02/13:
    - 1:45PM: Start
        * Re-introduction to project
        * Setup with VPN, access to repositories, etc.
        * Started looking into missing images, discovered many were
          actually HTML pages
    - 3:30PM: Stop
// 1:45

Each time-tracking file is intended to be human readable and append-only, inspired by Ledger.

A file consists of a number of day-delimited collections of sessions. Each session is again delimited by Start and Stop tokens.

Each day's sessions are totalled and left in a comment at the end of the day. The next time you initiate a command interacting with the file, a comment will be left with the <hours>:<minutes> of that day's time usage.

Comments are ignored by zx, but can be useful if you wish to inspect the file itself.
