Files in Repository

• LICENSE : MIT License for TimesheetAssistant
• README.md : Here you are!
• TimesheetAssistant.py : The Source Code for the latest version of TimesheetAssistant
• exe_gen.bat : The batch file with the pyinstaller command to generate the EXE
• TimesheetAssistant.ico : The icon for the EXE

How it works

To use TimesheetAssistant in a project, just copy the EXE to that folder and run it to start Timetracking your work

1. On initializing the TimesheetAssistant, 2 files are created in your project directory
   • timesheet.csv : The Actual Timesheet in CSV format. Why CSV you ask? It is simple to write and data can be read and parsed easily directly or with Pandas
   • timesheet_meta.bin : A Metadata Binary File which holds the info about the current project's timesheet. Deleting this will reinitialize the timesheet
2. Type in "Start" to start timing your session. The timer keeps running until you stop the session or terminate the program
3. Press the Hotkey Combination Ctrl+Alt+Q to stop the current session
4. Please make sure both the TimesheetAssistant files are closed to allow proper updation of data
5. If you want to exit TimesheetAssistant, just type in "Quit" before the start of a new session

Compressed to EXE using PyInstaller (check out the PyInstaller command in the exe_gen.bat script)

That's it I guess...
