A partially-featured shell script that maintains a log of things that I did.
1 - Set an environment variable called I_DID_LOG that is set to the location of your log:
For example, in your .zshrc :
export I_DID_LOG=/home/me/path/to/things.i.did.log2 - Add idid to your path
3 - Add things to the log
$ idid 1 "An example of something that took an hour"
2022-05-19 09:26:42 (Thu) | 1.00 | An example of something that took an hourThe first argument is the amount of time (defaults to hours). To enter time in minutes, add an 'm' to the time:
$ idid 10m "Something quick"
2022-05-19 09:32:22 (Thu) | 0.16 | Something quickIf you omit the time, it will default to 0:
$ idid "This is just a note"
2022-05-19 09:33:56 (Thu) | 0.00 | This is just a noteTo see some usage hints, run idid with no arguments
