Toggl command line on Windows

How to run toggl-cli on Windows (using Git bash):

1. Make a directory for user binaries:

   mkdir -p ~/bin
   

   Shell

2. …and change to it:

   cd ~/bin
   

   Shell

3. Clone the repository into the subdirectory “toggl-cli”:

   git clone https://github.com/drobertadams/toggl-cli.git
   

   Shell

4. Install prerequisites (“requests” was not mentioned in the README, but did need to be installed on my system with ActiveState Python 2.7):

   pip install iso8601 pytz requests
   

   Shelll

5. Run the program once, don’t be afraid when it crashes, this is expected because of the missing configuration file (which it creates during this run):

   python ~/bin/toggl-cli/toggl.py
   

   Shell

6. Edit the configuration file:

   vim ~/.togglrc
   

   Shell

7. Update the line “username” with the “E-mail” and the line “apitoken” with the API token from your Toggl profile, e.g.:

   

8. Save and close the configuration file.
