Tracking Time

There are two different ways to track time:

  • Log time - create a time entry specifying the number of hours to log
  • Timer - create a time entry that is a running timer

For a full list of commands and their options, view the Time Tracking CLI reference.

Log time​

Create a new time entry specifying the number of hours to log:
