Create a new complete time entry

Synopsis

Create a new complete time entry with start and end.

This command will not stop running time entries.

The rules defined in the workspace and project will be checked before creating it.

If no start time (--when) is set then the current time will be used. The same applies to end time (--when-to-close).

By default, the CLI will ask the information interactively; use --interactive=0 to disable it.

If you prefer that it never don’t do that by default, run the bellow command, and use --interactive when you want to be asked:

$ clockify-cli config set interactive false

When setting a date/time input (--when and --when-to-close) you can use any of the following formats to set then:

Full Date and Time: “2016-02-01 15:04:05”
Date and Time (assumes 0 seconds): “2016-02-01 15:04”
Yesterday with Time: “yesterday 15:04:05”
Yesterday with Time (0 seconds): “yesterday 15:04”
Today at Time: “15:04:05”
Today at Time (assumes 0 seconds): “15:04”
10mins in the future: +10m
1min and 30s ago: -90s
1hour and 10min ago: -1:10s
1day, 10min and 30s ago: -1d10m30s

To be able to use names of resources instead of its IDs you must enable the feature ‘allow-name-for-id’, to do that run the command (the commands may take longer to look for the resource id):

$ clockify-cli config set allow-name-for-id true

Use clockify-cli in --help for more information about creating new time entries. Use clockify-cli report --help for more information about printing time entries.
