🕒 WakaLogger

Log your daily WakaTime coding activity to a secret Gist.

The script allows you to backup/export/log your daily WakaTime coding activity (durations) every day, so that you don't lose any day's data. To automate the process of running the script every day, one can make use of cron jobs offered by CIs - in this case, GitHub Actions.

Setup

You can either run this script daily, locally, or let Travis handle it for you. To ensure no sensitive data is included in the git repository, environment variables are used for configuration. There are many ways to set these up.

Secret Gist

You must first create a secret Gist that shall serve as the log file. Don't worry about naming the files, or the content - WakaLogger will take care of that. Make sure to take note of the Gist ID: it can be found in the URL.

If the GIST_ID variable is not found/undefined, WakaLogger will create a secret Gist for you and tell you the ID. Note it and define the environment variable.

CI (Travis)

Note: Even though the following instructions will work, this repository now uses GitHub Actions to perform the cronjobs.

The .travis.yml file contains the required commands that Travis will execute each time it builds the repository.

Fork your own copy of this repository
Set up Travis on your forked repository by going to https://travis-ci.org
Once set, go to the Travis repository settings

Set the following environment variables:

GITHUB_USERNAME
GITHUB_PASSWORD
GIST_ID
WAKATIME_USERNAME
WAKATIME_API_KEY

Create a cron job (in the repo settings itself): "Branch" shall be master, and the ideal frequency should either be "daily" or "weekly"

Local

Clone this repo:

git clone https://github.com/plibither8/wakalogger

Install packages:
```
npm install
```

Define environment variables in your .bashrc/.zshrc/etc. file:

export GITHUB_USERNAME=   # Your GitHub username
export GITHUB_PASSWORD=   # Your GitHub password in plaintext
export GIST_ID=           # ID of the secret Gist
export WAKATIME_USERNAME= # Your WakaTime username
export WAKATIME_API_KEY=  # Your WakaTime API key

The WakaTime API key can be found here: https://wakatime.com/settings/api-key.

Run the script:
```
node index
```
