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
You can install hcl directly from rubygems.org:
    $ gem install hcl
    $ hcl show [date]
or you can install from source using jeweler:
    $ gem install jeweler
    $ rake install
## Usage
    hcl [start] (@<task_alias> | <project_id> <task_id>) [+<time>] [<message>]
    hcl note <message>
    hcl stop [message]
    hcl resume [@<task_alias>]
    hcl log (@<task_alias> | <project_id> <task_id>) [+<time>] [<message>]
    hcl show [date]
    hcl tasks
    hcl alias <task_alias> <project_id> <task_id>
    hcl aliases
    hcl (cancel | nvm | oops)
### Available Projects and Tasks
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.
    $ hcl tasks
### Starting a Timer
Since it's not practical to enter two long numbers every time you want to
identify a task, HCl supports task aliases:
    $ hcl alias tacodev 1234 5678
    $ hcl @tacodev 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 equivalent:
    $ hcl @tacodev +0:15 Doing some stuff
    $ hcl +.25 @tacodev Doing some stuff
### Adding Notes to a Running Task
While a task is running you can append lines to the task notes:
    $ hcl note Then I did something else
### Stopping a Timer
The following command will stop a running timer (currently only one timer at
a time is supported). You can provide a message when stopping a timer as
well:
    $ hcl stop All done doing things
### Resuming a Timer
You can resume a stopped timer. Specify a task to resume the last timer
for that task:
    $ hcl resume
    $ hcl resume @xdev
### Canceling a Timer
If you accidentally started a timer that you didn't mean to, you can cancel
it:
    $ hcl cancel
This will delete the running timer, or the last-updated timer if one isn't
running. You can also use `nvm` or `oops` instead of `cancel`.
### Logging without Starting a Timer
You can log time and notes without leaving a timer running. It takes
the same arguments as start:
    $ hcl log @xdev +1 Worked for an hour.
The above starts and immediately stops a one-hour timer with the given note.
### 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
