python main.py --helpGet a list of projects
python main.py projects
#...
#id: Name
#...Maybe you have an idea of the project name and want to filter the list
python main.py projects | grep SideOnce you found your project id run the following to add a time entry
python main.py time -p 12345 -m "Gettin' work done" -t 1.0or use -n for project name
python main.py time -n sidestudios -m "Gettin' work done" -t 3.0or if you want a date other than today
python main.py time -p 12345 -m "Gettin' work done" -t 3.0 -d 2014-01-30There is no updating a time stamp right now. So if you muck it up, log into Basecamp to fix it.
