log-time --help
View available options. Before you can log-time, you will need to configure the tool with your jira credentials
log-time config
You will be prompted for your jira username and password. These will be saved in plaintext in a log-time.json file in your home directory. Basic authentication over https will be used to communicate with Jira... so if any of that freaks you out don't use this tool!
There are two main commands
log-time log
this will update a worklog for a jira ticket.
You can pass in a ticket number with -j and a time string with -t (example time string: 1 h, 1 m, 3 h and 30 m, etc)
if you don't pass them in with option flags you will be prompted for them
Example command
log-time log -j "BD-111111" -t "4 h"
log-time track
this will start a timer in your terminal which will track your work on an issue until you tell it to stop
You can pass in a ticket number with -j
if you don't pass it in, you will be prompted for your ticket.
When the timer is running you can hit C-c or Esc to cancel tracking. Or you can hit space or enter to go ahead and submit your worklog
example command
log-time track -j "BD-11111111" then sometime later space
I hope it all works for you. If it doesn't let me know and I may be able to help?
