TimeWarrior : Commandline Time Reporting

Timewarrior is a time tracking utility that offers simple stopwatch features as well as sophisticated calendar-based backfill, along with flexible reporting. It is a portable, well supported and very active Open Source project.

Installing

• From Package

Thanks to the community, there are binary packages available here.

• Building Timewarrior

Building Timewarrior yourself requires

git
cmake
make
C++ compiler, currently gcc 4.8.1+ or clang 3.3+ for full C++11 support
Python 3, for running the testsuite

There are two ways to retrieve the Timewarrior sources:

• Clone the repository from Github, git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/GothenburgBitFactory/timewarrior cd timewarrior
• Or download the tarball with curl, curl -O https://github.com/GothenburgBitFactory/timewarrior/releases/download/v1.4.2/timew-1.4.2.tar.gz and expand the tarball tar xzf timew-1.4.2.tar.gz cd timew-1.4.2

Build Timewarrior, optionally run the test suite (note: the tarball does not contain tests), and install it.

cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=release
make
[make test]
sudo make install

This copies files into the right place (default under /usr/local), and installs man pages.

Add the optional parameter -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path/to/your/install/location to the cmake command if you want to install Timewarrior at a location other than /usr/local. The make install command may not require sudo depending on your choice of install location.
