golog

golog is an easy and lightweight CLI tool to time track your tasks. The goal is to enable to track concurrent from small to big tasks.

Overview

I work in a very fast paced company, and I'm always receiving requests, plus a lot of small requests and I've struggled to find a tool that fit my needs. We do use other tools to track the time spent on a task, but sometimes it gets so overwhelming that it's just not worth to create a bunch of small tasks and track them but you do want to track them. If you have your terminal always opened like me, golog is perfect for this environments, you can log multiple tasks at the same time without going to your browser/proj management tool to improve productiveness.

Installation

Make sure you have a working Go environment (go 1.1+ is required). See the install instructions.

To get golog, run:

$ go get github.com/mlimaloureiro/golog

To install it in your path so that gologcan be easily used:

$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/mlimaloureiro/golog
$ GOBIN="/usr/local/bin" go install

Enabling autocomplete

Copy autocomplete/bash_autocomplete into /etc/bash_completion.d/golog. Don't forget to source the file to make it active in the current shell.

   sudo cp autocomplete/bash_autocomplete /etc/bash_completion.d/golog
   source /etc/bash_completion.d/golog

Alternatively, you can just source autocomplete/bash_autocomplete in your bash configuration with $PROG set to golog.

PROG=golog source "$GOPATH/src/github.com/mlimaloureiro/golog/autocomplete/bash_autocomplete"

If using zsh use zsh_autocomplete

PROG=golog source "$GOPATH/src/github.com/mlimaloureiro/golog/autocomplete/zsh_autocomplete"

Getting Started

The start command will start tracking time for a given taskname. Note that a taskname cannot have white spaces, they serve as identifiers.

$ golog start {taskname}

To stop tracking use the stop command, if you want to resume a stopped task just golog start {taskname} again.

$ golog stop {taskname}

With the list command you can see all your tasks and see which of them are active.

$ golog list
0h:1m:10s    create-readme (running)
0h:0m:44s    do-some-task

If you only want to check the status of one task, use the status command.

$ golog status create-readme
0h:3m:55s    create-readme (running)

The lifetime of the info I usually need is very short (actually is just a workday), in the next day it's unlikely that i'll need previous info. This is one case where clear command is handy.

$ golog clear
All tasks were deleted.
