toggl-sync: Synchronize time reports with ease

toggl-sync is a tiny CLI command/daemon for syncing Toggl time entries with Jira written in Go and distributed with HomeBrew.

This is the first implementation of the bigger concept of time-tracking, syncing, and reporting among third-party platforms.

In active development of v1 of TimeMate

Find the full concept overview in TimeMate docs.

Run the app

Brew background service

brew services start toggl-sync

The program will start on system start up.

Find logs in here tail -f $(brew --prefix)/var/log/toggl-sync/toggl-sync.log

One time run

toggl-sync sync -period 2w

Where -period specifies the period of time from current moment to sync. In this example 2w - 2 past weeks.

As a service

toggl-sync sync -period 1d --service

Where --service allows program to work as a daemon, it will repeatedly sync time entries every 1 day (1d).
