* Description
This layer adds support for Wakatime.
WakaTime was built to solve time tracking for programmers.
Since we work inside a text editor, why should we have to start and stop a
timer? WakaTime uses open-source text editor plugins to automatically track the
time you spend programming so you never have to manually track it again!
P.S. wakati means time in Swahili
** Features:
- Integration with Wakatime cloud based time tracking service
* Install
** Wakatime Program
You can follow wakatime installation instructions here
[[https://github.com/wakatime/wakatime-mode]].
In short its just:
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
pip install wakatime
#+END_SRC
And for some linux users
#+BEGIN_SRC sh
sudo pip install wakatime
#+END_SRC
** Layer
To use this configuration layer, add it to your =~/.spacemacs=. You will need to
add =wakatime= to the existing =dotspacemacs-configuration-layers= list in this
file.
Example:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq-default dotspacemacs-configuration-layers
'(
;; ...
(wakatime :variables
wakatime-api-key "your-api-key"
;; use the actual wakatime path
wakatime-cli-path "/usr/bin/wakatime")
;; ...
))
#+END_SRC
** API Keys
After this go to your wakatime account and have your API key handy
[[https://wakatime.com/settings/account?apikey=true]].
Restart emacs and it will prompt you for the location of the wakatime installer
(just put in whatever =which wakatime= gives you in the terminal e.g.
=/usr/bin/wakatime= for example) and thats it.
*** Note to =venv-workon= users:
Right now wakatime uses =python= as python bin executable, so if you use
=venv-workon= because you have python projects which need to have a virtual
env., then wakatime, which is installed system-wide will have trouble locating
wakatime files, so its best to define by yourself the python path where
wakatime can always find its stuff, via this variable:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq wakatime-python-bin "/path/to/python")
#+END_SRC
