Description

ts is an open-source, text-based timesheet parser designed for contractors and programmers to efficiently track work hours. It uses human-friendly, computer-parseable text files—one file per contract—for logging time entries in a simple, programmer-oriented format.

Features

• Text-Based Timesheet Parsing: Allows users to log work hours using plain text files.
• Programmer-Friendly Format: Entries are easy to write and read, designed with programmers in mind.
• Per-Contract Files: Organize timesheets by keeping one file per contract.
• Canonicalization: Automatically parses and standardizes timesheet entries.
• Global Configuration Support: User default settings can be managed via a ~/.tsconfig.yml file (or %USERPROFILE%.tsconfig.yml on Windows).
• Invoice Generation: Generate PDF invoices from timesheet entries using an invoice marker and the -i/--invoice option. Supports custom invoice file naming templates with variables (e.g., {invoice_code}).
• Comment Support: Include comments in timesheets that can be added to invoices.
