cronus

Time Logger (JIRA+Harvest)

How does it work??

• This script checks for task id in branch names like feature/auth-CODE-123
• If the task id could not be found, it exits gracefully. (Needed for branches like main, develop)
• If a task id is present in branch name, it fetches task details from JIRA & creates a new entry in Harvest

Configuration

Create a cronus.json file at the root of git repo.

{
  "jira": {
    "code": "XXXX",
    "organization": "XXXX",
    "email": "USER EMAIL",
    "accessToken": "USER ACCESS TOKEN"
  },
  "harvest": {
    "access_token": "HARVEST ACCESS TOKEN",
    "account_id": "USER ACCOUNT ID",
    "project_id": "PROJECT ID",
    "task_id": "TASK ID TO LOG TIME INTO"
  }
}

Use

• Manual: Checkout to a desired branch & simply run cronus

• AutoLog (with git-hooks):

1. Create a post-checkout file in .git/hooks

2. Add following:

   #!/bin/sh
   #
   # Log Harvest Entry
   cronus

This will run the script on every git checkout & create a time entry each time you work on a new task.
