one_inch_punch

Description

one_inch_punch is meant as a generally data- and interface-compatible alternative to Ara T. Howard's punch gem. The main benefits will be greater understandability, test coverage, and usage outside of merely command-line situations.

• Punch: Good enough
• One-inch punch: Smaller, more effective

Features/Problems

• Can load and write .punch.yml data compatibly with Ara's punch gem
• Things you may expect from a time-tracking program, like punching in and out and getting time data
• The ability to be punched in to multiple projects at once, because double-billing is awesome
• More, since this is unfinished

SYNOPSIS:

require 'punch'

Punch.load
Punch.status('my project')  # => 'out'
Punch.in('my project')
Punch.status('my project')  # => 'in'
# do some work
Punch.out('my project')
Punch.out?('my project')    # => true
Punch.write

or!

$ punch in proj
$ echo 'working, really'
$ punch out proj
$ punch status

or!

require 'punch'

proj = Punch.new('my project')
proj.status                     # => 'out'
proj.in
proj.status                     # => 'in'
# do some work
proj.out
proj.out?                       # => true
Punch.write

Requirements

• A reason to track time
• Ruby
