configure where the data is saved

[gedw99]

i have a use case where i want to be able to save the data in a local github repo.

We could make it a setting in the config of ~/.pomodoro/settings ?

The project doesn't seem to be maintained , but on unix/linux-like you can move the original ~/.pomodoro/ dir to some different location and create a symlink in its place, linking to the location you moved the directory to. The app doesn't seem to care.

mv ~/.pomodoro ~/.pomodoro_backup  # move your current data somewhere else for tests
mkdir /tmp/local-github-repo/
ln -s /tmp/local-github-repo/ $HOME/.pomodoro
ls -l ~/.pomodoro/  # we can see in ls output, that this file is a symlink to another dir
pomodoro start "some activity" -t test # let's run pomodoro as usual
pomodoro finish
echo some-entry > ~/.pomodoro/some-file  # creating one more file, just to illustrate
tail -n+1 /tmp/local-github-repo/* # print contents of all files in a dir
tail -n+1 ~/.pomodoro/*

I hope that solves your problem :) Regards!

@justincampbell ping. any feedback? no obligation, just setting expectations, e.g. are you looking for [new/co-]maintainer(s)? thinking into opening it for adoption?

[justincampbell]

@pataquets I'm not actively using this, as my current development workflow requires multiple remote SSH sessions, and I haven't gotten around to solving for that. However, I'm happy to help review any changes that are submitted, or adding collaborators to this repo who are interested in helping maintain it.

Thanks for the quick response, @justincampbell. I've opened #26 to help channel anything related. Hint: you might want to pin it for visibility.

I do appreciate your swift response, guys - thank you :)
