Task tracker CLI v0.0.3

This is a CLI app that helps you track your tasks and time spent on them.

Problems it solves

• Setup a count down timer per task to help you track time spent on a task
• Receive notifications when a task starts or ends - notifications
• Log tasks to a flat file - log_tasks
• Log tasks to a google sheet - log_tasks

How to use it locally

• Make sure you have the ~/.cargo/bin directory in your $PATH
• On your terminal, run cargo install ttc

With time tracking

Default behavior is to track time spent on a task, the thread will be sleeping for the duration of the task. The thread will be woken up when the task is completed & automatically log the task to a flat file.

• ttc -n "task name" -d 1 -u h - start a task
  • ttc is the CLI app name
  • -n "task name" The flag -n is used to specify the task name
  • -d 1 the flag -d is used to specify the duration of the task
  • -u h the flag -u is used to specify the unit of time for the duration of the task. The unit can be h for hours, m for minutes or s for seconds

Without time tracking

• ttc -n "task name" -d 1 -u h -l - start a task
  • ttc is the CLI app name
  • -n "task name" The flag -n is used to specify the task name
  • -d 1 the flag -d is used to specify the duration of the task
  • -u h the flag -u is used to specify the unit of time for the duration of the task. The unit can be h for hours, m for minutes or s for seconds
  • -l the flag -l is used to specify that you want to log the task to a flat file without time tracking

Why I built it

I wanted to build a CLI app that helps me track my tasks and time spent on them. I also wanted to build a CLI app that I can use to learn more about building CLI apps with Rust.

How to use it in your rust crates/projects

• Add ttc = "*" to your Cargo.toml dependencies ```rust use ttc::Task; let t1:Task = Task::new().unwraporelse(|err|{ println!("Err: {err}"); std::process::exit(1); });

   t1.start_task();
  
   if let Err(err) =  t1.log_task_to_file(){
      println!("Err: {:#?}",err);
      std::process::exit(1);
   }
  

  ```
