Finally, A Code Post
If you don’t use Basecamp for time tracking, or you don’t use a command line, you can ignore this post.
I made my first Github project today. It’s something small I made a few months ago for me and my coworkers, a command line tool to log your times on Basecamp. That’s how we do time tracking inside thoughtbot, so it vastly simplifies my life to not have to visit Basecamp in my browser 10 times a day, I can just log time on the command line. I named it Basecamper.
Go check out the README to see how it works and how to install it. It’s dirt simple, and there’s 3 of us at thoughtbot that use it exclusively. I even wrote myself an accompanying script (not in the repository) that does my code commits and time logging in one command, using the same message, so I don’t have to duplicate it. It’s a great boon to me.
