CLI enables you easier tracking on Productive from your terminal.
DISCLAIMER: I do not take any responsibility for incorrectly tracked projects. This is still experimental and visual confirmation in the UI that everything is correct is a must.
Download ZIP file from releases page and unzip it. Optionally, you can add executable to the path to make it available from everywhere.
You can look up usage by providing a -h flag to any CLI command (e.g. productive-cli -h).
An explicit login is not necessary. Each action will check local token (stored in ~/.productive/user file) and decide
if token is valid or user needs to go through login process.
Tracking has 2 available commands:
- food
- project
Each command has an optional -d flag to specify a particular date in YYYY-MM-DD format (e.g. productive-cli -d 2020-04-01 track food). In case flag is not provided, command will used today's date.
When asked for time, you can provide number of minutes (e.g. 120) or standard HH:mm format (e.g 8:00; leading zero is optional).
food command will track 30 minutes on food budget.
Alongside generic -d flag, you have -w flag to track food for the whole week.
project command enables you to track time for any project you are working on. There are no additional flags - everything is entered interactively after the command is ran.
When command is ran, you'll first see all the projects you've already tracked in the past. If you want to track a new project, press Ctrl+C.
At the moment, there's no nice way to delete already tracked projects. You can edit ~/.productive/projects file where they are saved.
