# hcl
HCl is a command-line tool for interacting with Harvest time sheets using the
[Harvest time tracking API][htt].
[htt]: http://www.getharvest.com/api/time_tracking
## Quick Start
$ gem install zenhob-hcl --source=http://gems.github.com
$ hcl show [date]
### Prerequisites
* Ruby (tested with 1.8.7)
* Ruby OpenSSL support (in debian/ubuntu: apt-get install libopenssl-ruby)
* Ruby extension building support (in debian/ubuntu: apt-get install ruby-dev)
* RubyGems
* Trollop option-parsing library (gem install trollop)
* Chronic date-parsing library (gem install chronic)
* HighLine console input library (gem install highline)
* Jeweler packaging tool (needed to build the gem)
## Usage
hcl show [date]
hcl tasks
hcl set <key> <value ...>
hcl unset <key>
hcl start (<task_alias> | <project_id> <task_id>) [+time] [msg ...]
hcl note <msg ...>
hcl stop
### Starting a Timer
To start a new timer you need to identify the project and task. After you've
used the show command you can use the tasks command to view a cached list of
available tasks. The first two numbers in each row are the project and task
IDs. You need both values to start a timer:
$ hcl show
-------------
0:00 total
$ hcl tasks
1234 5678 ClientX Software Development
1234 9876 ClientX Admin
$ hcl start 1234 5678 adding a new feature
### Task Aliases
Since it's not practical to enter two long numbers every time you want to
identify a task, HCl supports task aliases:
$ hcl set task.xdev 1234 5678
$ hcl start xdev adding a new feature
### Starting a Timer with Initial Time
You can also provide an initial time when starting a new timer.
This can be expressed in floating-point or HH:MM. The following two
commands are identical:
$ hcl start xdev +0:15 adding a new feature
$ hcl start +.25 xdev adding a new feature
### Adding Notes to a Running Task
While a task is running you can append strings to the note for that task:
$ hcl note Found a good time
$ hcl note or not, whatever...
### Stopping a Timer
The following command will stop a running timer (currently only one timer at
a time is supported):
$ hcl stop
### Date Formats
Dates can be expressed in a variety of ways. See the [Chronic documentation][cd]
for more information about available date input formats. The following
commands show the timesheet for the specified day:
$ hcl show yesterday
$ hcl show last friday
$ hcl show 2 days ago
$ hcl show 1 week ago
