toggl-cli

Unofficial CLI for Toggl Track written in Rust, using the v9 API.

Usage

Building the binary.

cargo build # or cargo build --release

Installing the binary.

From crates.io

cargo install toggl

From Arch Linux aur

toggl-cli is available on the AUR:

toggl-cli (release package)
toggl-cli-bin (binary release package)

You can install it using your AUR helper of choice.

Example:

$ yay -Sy toggl-cli

From source

cargo install --path .

This places the release optimized binary at ~/.cargo/bin/toggl. Make sure to add ~/.cargo/bin to your $PATH so that you can run the binary from any directory.

You can invoke the binary using the toggl command now. Alternatively you can also run the command directly using cargo run

cargo run [command]

# To list the last 3 time-entries
cargo run list -n 3

The first command you need to run is auth to set up your Toggl API token.

cargo run auth [API_TOKEN] # or toggl auth [API_TOKEN]

The API token is stored securely in your Operating System's keychain using the keyring crate.

The CI will also run the lint commands for all pull-requests. See pull_request.yml for more details.

Releasing

To create a new release, first bump the package version. We have a handy script at pkg/autodoc.rs. Running it with no arguments, bumps the current patch version, in Cargo.toml and Cargo.lock files. It also updates the help documentation in this README to match the current version of the command. Commit and push the updated changes and a new release will show up under the releases page.
