Toggl command line on Windows

How to run toggl-cli on Windows (using Git bash):

1. Make a directory for user binaries:

   mkdir -p ~/bin
   

2. …and change to it:

   cd ~/bin
   

3. Clone the repository into the subdirectory “toggl-cli”:

   git clone https://github.com/drobertadams/toggl-cli.git
   

4. Install prerequisites (“requests” was not mentioned in the README, but did need to be installed on my system with ActiveState Python 2.7):

   pip install iso8601 pytz requests
   

5. Run the program once, don’t be afraid when it crashes, this is expected because of the missing configuration file (which it creates during this run):

   python ~/bin/toggl-cli/toggl.py
   

6. Edit the configuration file:

   vim ~/.togglrc
   

7. Update the line “username” with the “E-mail” and the line “apitoken” with the API token from your Toggl profile, e.g.:

   

8. Save and close the configuration file.
