Repo based config

[Jared-Dev]

Could there be a way to add project info to the project's config file?

Well the projects are based on what projects you have in your Harvest account. Or perhaps i am not understanding your question. Could you elaborate if I am not?

I think I'm mainly asking. When you load a repository/workspace in VSC. I'd love a way to add a specific project (or possibly an array of them).

• If a single project is connected. Automatically start the timer for that specific project.
• If there is an array of projects. Present only those to select from.

The motivation here is that we have probably fifty projects/repositories and it would be awesome if there was a way to connect a git repo to a harvest project.

Oh yeah that would be a really good feature. Here is what I am thinking (let me know if I understand the request properly):

• Based on the directory open (might be easier than based on git repo)
• Associate projects with that
• If more than one project show a list of projects you associate with it
• If only one project associated, show list of tasks
• When showing list of tasks make last used task as the first in the drop down, user can just hit enter to selected it
• When defaulting to last used task, auto fill description box with last used description (user could change it or leave it)
• If no associated projects show all listed from api
• After getting all these features built in, figure out how to associate with git repo instead of directory

I see this being a good universal answer to your ideas. Are you familiar with working with VS Code extensions? I could make you a collaborator if you are.

That sounds like an awesome implementation! For the folder/repo association the other thing VSC offers is workspaces which might be an additional setting location or an alternative!

Unfortunately I've not done any work on extensions previously. I'm digging into some new stuff at work that has me tied up, but if you end up adding some more detailed issues related to the task I don't mind trying as I have time (I just have no clue when that might me, sadly).
