Now Command

View the output of tt now --help

track-time-cli now

Display all active time sheet entries

Options:
--version Show version number [boolean]
-h, --humanize Print the total duration in human-readable format [boolean]
--help Show help [boolean]

The now command lists all active time sheet entries their parent sheet name, the current total duration, and the entry description itself along with any tags.

Use this command when you want to check the current active time sheet entry. It will either display it and related data, or inform you that no time entry is active.

tip

The now command is the default if track-time-cli is invoked with no command. So tt is equivalent to tt now.

note

Only the currently active sheet is considered. To view the active entry on another sheet, first switch to it with tt s <name>.

Arguments

Render durations into a human-readable word form with --humanize.

tip

The -h (or --humanize) argument switches the rendering of durations from a simple digit display to a human-readable word form.
