Custom project name

[danielbrodin]

Is it possible to add a custom project name instead of using the folder name? For example I have a wordpress site where it's just the wp-content folder that is open in the editor which kinda makes it useless to track. There are times where I have also renamed a folder after some time, and it would be nice to keep tracking it on the same time.

You can create a file .wakatime-project with the first line having the new project name. Put that file in your project folder and wakatime will use that project name instead of the folder name.

Thanks. It worked great. Is there anything else that can be configured in the .wakatime-project file? Couldn't find anything on it.

No, but you can configure things in your ~/.wakatime.cfg INI file:

Including mapping directories to project names:
