FAQ

1. Why?

   Mostly because I wanted an excuse to dig into Go a bit more. But also because I wanted a simple time tracking tool I could use from my Terminal (since that's usually where I am anyway), and none of the existing tools were quite what I wanted.

   That said, this is just a side project, mostly done as a learning exercise. Future support/development should not be expected. Caveat emptor and all that.

2. I want syncing of my time across computers

   mkdir ~/Dropbox/.punch && ln -s ~/Dropbox/.punch ~/.punch

   Boom.

3. I want to filter projects I'm looking at in the summary view

   grep my-fun-project ~/.punch/entries.log | punch summary

4. I want to see only recent dates in my summary view

   tail -20 ~/.punch/entries.log | punch summary

5. You didn't answer my question

   Well, nobody actually asked me any questions, I was just making them up. File an issue or a pull request, if you feel the urge. Or message me on Twitter.
