track project hours

To start tracking hours, just do clocker start:
$ clocker start -t BAZCORP
The -t is optional.
Some hours pass, then:
$ clocker stop
Run clocker start and clocker stop as you have more hours to track.
You can list the hours you've racked up with clocker list:
$ clocker list
1392707136 2014-02-17 [ 23:05:36 - 02:15:00 ] (03:09:24) [BAZCORP]
1392751800 2014-02-18 [ 11:30:00 - 16:20:00 ] (04:50:00) [BAZCORP]
1393020600 2014-02-21 [ 14:10:00 - 18:32:00 ] (04:22:00) [BAZCORP]
You can see a report of all logged hours of a specific day with clocker report command:
$ clocker report --day 2018-05-23
Report for 23 May 2018:
1527053106 2018-05-23 [ 07:25:06 - 08:09:25 ] (00:44:19) [TYPE_A]
1527056838 2018-05-23 [ 08:27:18 - 11:30:00 ] (03:02:42) [TYPE_B]
1527067800 2018-05-23 [ 11:30:00 - 11:58:18 ] (00:28:18) [TYPE_C]
1527073296 2018-05-23 [ 13:01:36 - 16:31:54 ] (03:30:18) [TYPE_B]
TYPE_A: 00:44:19
TYPE_B: 06:33:00
TYPE_C: 00:28:18
total: 07:45:37
Without the --day option, the report command will list all logged hours of the current day.
You can generate a json dump with clocker data:
$ clocker data BAZCORP --rate 125
[
{
"title": "consulting",
"rate": 125,
"hours": [
{
"date": "2014-02-18",
"hours": 7.1
},
{
"date": "2014-02-17",
"hours": 0.9
},
{
"date": "2014-02-21",
"hours": 4.4
}
]
}
]
This json output can be fed into invoicer to generate a PDF invoice:
$ clocker data BAZCORP --rate 125 | invoicer -r BAZCORP -o invoice.pdf
