 Timetasker CLI
 ==============
 
-## [ABANDONED]
-This project has been abandoned. What I wanted was a nice command line interface
-to be able to submit time sheets using [Time Task](https://timetask.com), but
-the result wasn't really what I had hoped for. Ultimately I didn't see this tool
-saving me much more time (if any) compared with using the website.
-
-My idea was to have the executable generate a weekly time sheet as YAML with
-prepopulated defaults. This file could then be modified by the user if necessary
-and submitted to the website via the CLI tool.
-
-The project is succeeded by a [Chrome
-extension](https://github.com/teddywing/chrome-timetasker) that auto-fills the
+Provides a nice command line interface to submit time sheets using [Time
+Task][1]. This command will submit a single time entry.
+
+The project vastly improves upon a [Chrome extension][2] that auto-fills the
 time sheet form on the website.
 
-Posting this code in the event that it becomes useful to anyone.
+
+## Usage
+This will submit a time entry for the "example" project on the current day with
+a duration of 7 hours and an empty description:
+
+	$ timetasker --project example
+
+Here we set a custom time of 4.5 hours:
+
+	$ timetasker --project example --time 4.5
+
+Now we specify a date and add a description:
+
+	$ timetasker --project example \
+	>     --date 2017-05-31 \
+	>     --description "Worked on Timetasker"
+
+And because it's a shell command, we can combine it with other commands. Let's
+create a week's worth of time entries starting on Monday May 29th, 2017:
+
+	$ for d in $(ruby -e "require 'date'
+	> d = Date.new(2017, 5, 29)
+	> (0..4).each { |i| puts (d + i).strftime('%Y-%m-%d') }");
+	>   do timetasker --project example --date $d;
+	> done
+
+
+## Configuration
+Timetasker relies on a configuration file in order to work properly.
+
+If this is your first time running Timetasker, use this command to generate a
+skeleton config:
+
+	$ timetasker --write-config
+
+This will generate a `$HOME/.config/timetasker/config.toml` file that looks like
+this:
+
+	[auth]
+	username = ""
+	password_cmd = ""
+
+
+	[profile]
+	person_id = # ADD PERSON ID
+
+
+	[projects.example]
+	client =    # ADD CLIENT ID
+	project =   # ADD PROJECT ID
+	module =    # ADD MODULE ID
+	task = 0
+	work_type = # ADD WORK TYPE ID
+	billable = true
+
+Fill in the `username` with your TimeTask username. The `password_cmd` should be
+a shell command that will output your TimeTask password to STDOUT.
+
+Notice the `[projects.example]` line? That's a project alias. If we, for
+instance, changed it to `[projects.my-cool-project]`, we could post a time entry
+to that project like this:
+
+	$ timetasker --project my-cool-project
+
+You say you have more than one project? No problem, just copy-paste an
+additional `[projects.example]` section and give it a new name.
+
+To fill in the other configuration options, we're going to have to take a trip
+to the TimeTask website (relax, we won't be using it much after this).
+
+1. Visit `https://*.timetask.com/time/add/`
+2. Fill in a single entry, but don't submit it yet
+3. Open the Network console in your browser's developer tools
+4. Submit your time entry
+5. View the POST request to `https://*.timetask.com/index.php`
+6. Take a look at the form data of the request
+
+You should see something like this:
+
+	module:time
+	action:submitmultipletime
+	f_entryIndexes:0
+	f_personID0:111111
+	f_clientID0:22222
+	f_projectID0:333333
+	f_moduleID0:444444
+	f_taskID0:0
+	f_worktypeID0:555555
+	f_date0:04/06/17
+	f_time0:7
+	f_billable0:t
+	f_description0:
+
+Copy the numbers into their corresponding fields in your `config.toml` file.
+
+Once you have a complete config file, you should be all set to start posting
+time entries!
+
+
