Timesheet is simple ruby application for tracking time spent on projects. It is a console application that uses a simple text file storage back-end (YAML::Store)

The main idea is to be able to produce reports of hours spent, such that I can use geektool to display the reports.

with timesheet you can:

• add new entries to the database

• edit existing entries

• delete existing entries

• list existing entries, and specify a time range

• produce simple reports

Timesheet is a script for keeping track of time spent on various projects.

timesheet [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]

COMMAND is any of the following: add edit delete list report

OPTIONS are:

--debug, -d

Show debugging information while processing

--version, -v

Print version and exit

--help, -h

Show this message

	timesheet COMMAND --help

for more information on a specific command.

your timesheet data will be stored in a hidden directory under your user account. Timesheet figures out where this is by referencing the “HOME” environment variable. The default location is therefore: /Users/someuser/.timesheet/store.yaml

You may override this location to any specific location you want by setting the “TIMESHEET_DATA_FILE” environment variable. This should be the full path to where you want the data stored. Including filename and extension. You only need to set this if you are unsatisfied with the default location.

This project was created using RubyMine 2.0, and that IDE stores its state in the .idea folder. If you aren’t using RubyMine, you can delete it.

• FIX (list of requirements)

sudo gem install timesheet

• Add indicator in reports for start or end times which had to be trimmed

• Add indicator in reports that exclude comments, that comments are available, when they are, i.e. after a summary,

you might want to know that you should do a detail, or byday report

• Add option to produce pdf file, for this to work, I need to ensure that all the reports are using ruport.

• If comments get too long, we may want to exclude them from the detail report

• Add a new command to inspect a single entry. Just dump all the fields for a given record number

• Might want to track comments separately and/or make an entries comments an array rather than a single comment.
