TIMEW-TRACK(1)

πŸ’œ TIMEW-TRACK(1) β€” the timew-track girlies' era

okay bestie, so this is the timew-track page from the timew manual set, and honestly? it's giving "backdated homework" in the best way πŸ’…


✨ NAME ✨

timew-track β€” literally just add intervals to the database πŸŽ€


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

timew track <range> [<tag>...]

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

The track command is your little time machine for adding tracked time in the past πŸ•°οΈβœ¨. Like, maybe you forgot to record something (we've all been there, no judgment πŸ™ˆ), or you're just filling in some old entries and making the timeline look cute. Either way, track has you 🫢


πŸŽ€ HINTS πŸŽ€

So besides the range hints (those live over in timew-hints(7), go say hi to them πŸ’–), the track command also accepts these hints:

  • :fill β€” the :fill hint creates a brand new interval that fills the gap between two adjacent intervals 🧩✨ it's literally the "plug the hole" button, iykyk

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

⭐ Recording a closed interval

For example:

$ timew track :yesterday 'Training Course'
$ timew track 9am - 11am 'Staff Meeting'
important vibe check 🚨: the track command expects a closed interval (start time AND end time) when you're recording. If you don't give it a closed interval, track behaves exactly the same as the start command. so like, no end time = surprise start, bestie 😭

πŸ“ Filling the gap between two intervals

To fill the gap between two intervals without having to specify the exact times, you can use the :fill hint πŸ’«. So when, for example, the first interval ends some time before 10:00 and the second interval starts some time after 11:00, calling

$ timew track 10:00 - 11:00 :fill 'Coffee Break'

will instruct Timewarrior to expand that interval so it starts right after the first interval and ends right before the second one πŸ”₯ literally snapping into place like a puzzle piece, obsessed.
