Spro, short for Shell Productivity, is a terminal application meant to track your productive hours.
It's very important to create a .spro directory in your home directory!
By default, spro will install in /usr/local/bin.
This can be changed by running $make INSTALL_DIR=custom_dir install, where custom_dir is the directory you want to install in.
$ mkdir ~/.spro
$ git clone https://github.com/mircea-mihail/spro
$ cd spro
$ sudo make install
To uninstall simply run
$ sudo make uninstall
Usage: spro [OPTION]...
Bash tool to track your progress while studying
Options:
-s, --start <TITLE> starts the timer and sets the session title as TITLE
-e, --end stops the timer
-t, --table <DAY> prints the progress table for the day <DAY> is optional
if no <DAY> is given, the current day is implied
-w, --week does a -t on every file within the past 7 days
and displays a total amount of hours worked during that time
-d, --delete <LINE> <DAY> deletes the line in the given file
if no <DAY> is given, the current day is implied
-b, --balance <DAY> prints the total progress of a given day (format: 11Jan2022)
if no <DAY> is given, the current day is implied
the current progress (-c) is not taken into account
-c, --current prints the current progress (how long has it been since -s without using -e)
Start the timer for developing a project:
spro -s project development
Stop the timer and display the table for today's progress:
spro -et
Print the table for today's progress:
spro -t
Print the table for the progress made on the 19th of February 2023:
spro -t 19Feb2023
Print the progress made during last week:
spro -w
The idea for this whole project came from my desire to track my productivity during a term. I would write on a piece of paper the time when I started learning for a particular exam, and the time when I stopped and at the end of the day I would add it all up. As this whole thing would usually be pretty tedious to do and also quite time consuming, I ended up automating this whole process in C++.
