Time Tracker CLI

A simple command-line tool for tracking time spent on tasks, built using Rust.

Prerequisites

• Rust installed on your machine

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/eatPizza311/time-tracker.git
   cd time-tracker

2. Build the project:

   cargo build --release

You can use cargo run instead

Usage

• Start tracking time:

  cargo run -- --db-dir db.json --lockfile track.lock start

  Don't forget the -- between cargo and command!

• Stop tracking time:

  cargo run -- --db-dir db.json --lockfile track.lock stop

• Get the report:

  cargo run -- --db-dir db.json --lockfile track.lock report

You can specify the location of a flat-file database and a lockfile.

You can also run without any flags:

The db and lockfile will be stored in the track directory at the following path with default name:

Platform	db file (records.json)	lockfile (track.lock)
Linux	$XDG_DATA_HOME or $HOME/.local/share	$XDG_CACHE_HOME or $HOME/.cache
macOS	$HOME/Library/Application Support	$HOME/Library/Caches
Windows	{FOLDERID_RoamingAppData}	{FOLDERID_LocalAppData}
