Synchronize gTimeLog to Tick

This script will read your timelog.txt file populated by gtimelog and will submit work log entries to Tick, via Tick API.

It is based on https://github.com/ProgrammersOfVilnius/gtimelog2jira.

Installation

Installation with pipx

pipx install gtimelog2tick

Usage

In order to synchronize your most recent entries to Tick, simply run:

gtimelog2tick

By default, this command will synchronize entries created 7 days ago up to now.

You can control what time period you want to synchronize using the --since and/or --until parameters:

gtimelog2tick --since 2023-12-01 --until 2023-12-24

If you want to test things, without creating work log entries in Tick, you can use the --dry-run flag:

gtimelog2tick --dry-run

This way nothing will be sent to Tick, the script will instead show what it would do.

Configuration

By default, gtimelog2tick reads configuration from the ~/.gtimelog/gtimelogrc file. Configuration file example:

[gtimelog2tick]
subscription_id = 234234
token = a343jk34s
user_id = 12323
email = [email protected]
timelog = ~/.gtimelog/timelog.txt
ticklog = ~/.gtimelog/tick.log
projects =
  FOO
  BAR
  BAZ

Use the Subscription ID as value for the subscription_id field and the API Token for the token field. Both can be looked up at your personal profile page in the web UI.

The value for user_id can be found in the URL of the personal profile page. It is the number between users/ and /edit.

Use your actual email address as otherwise requests might be refused.

timelog is the path where the gtimelog time log file is stored. The default should be okay. ticklog: this file is used to write a line for each action which is done via the Tick API. When using --dry-run, this file is also filled.

projects option should list all project prefixes for upload. These prefixes will be used to identify tick projects. If the script for an entry does not find a matching tick project, it will skip that entry. Caution: This option can be empty or omitted to upload all projects.
