CLI Timer

A simple CLI tool to track your time when working on Jira issues, synchronized with Tempo.

Installation

Install it globally with NPM:

$ npm install -g @studiometa/cli-timer

The package is currently private, you will need an NPM token to be able to install it. Ask Titouan to generate one for you and add it to your .zshrc file: export NPM_TOKEN='...'.

Then configure the CLI with the config command:

# With the prompt
$ timer config

# Without the prompt
$ timer config \
  --username '<JIRA_USERNAME>' \
  --token '<JIRA_TOKEN>' \
  --org '<JIRA_ORG>' \
  --account-id '<JIRA_ACCOUNT_ID>' \
  --tempo-token '<TEMPO_TOKEN>' \
  --no-prompt

To configure the CLI, you will need the following informations:

• You Jira username, usually your email address
• Your Jira organization name, ORG_NAME in https://ORG_NAME.atlassian.net
• A Jira API token, create one at https://id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/security/api-tokens
• Your Jira account ID, find it when accessing your profile in Jira: https://ORG_NAME.atlassian.net/jira/people/ACCOUNT_ID
• A Tempo API token, create one at https://ORG_NAME.atlassian.net/plugins/servlet/ac/io.tempo.jira/tempo-app#!/configuration/api-integration
