SpentTime

This extension intends to give you a way to track the amount of time you spend in your projects.

It was created for internal use only, but you can contribute to improove with some cool stuff.

Install

To install the extension:

1. Download the latest .vsix from the Releases section of this repository.
2. In VS Code, open the Extensions view (CTRL+SHIFT+X).
3. Click the three dots (⋯) in the top-right corner.
4. Choose Install from VSIX... and select the downloaded file.

How to use

Prerequisites

• Open a folder that is a valid Git repository in VS Code.
• Make sure your work is committed (no uncommitted changes).
• Ensure the last commit is authored by your current Git user (name/email in git config).
• You need an active internet connection so the extension can contact the tracking service.

Tracking time for a commit

1. In VS Code, open the project you want to track.
2. Commit your work so the latest commit represents the work you’re logging.
3. Run the command:
   • From the Command Palette (CTRL+SHIFT+P) search for Open SpentTime Box, or
   • Use the default keybinding ALT+CTRL+SHIFT+T (Windows/Linux) or ALT+CMD+SHIFT+T+S (macOS).
4. If you have multiple workspace folders, select the correct project from the dropdown.
5. Check the branch, commit ID, commit message, and author shown in the Spent Time Box.
6. Enter:
   • The number of hours spent (in quarter-hour increments, e.g. 0.25, 0.5, 1.0).
   • The work item id (e.g. a Jira ticket like PRJ-1234).
   • Optionally, a rating of how much AI tools supported you in this task (1–5 stars).
7. Click OK to validate and send the data.

If validation passes and the tracking service is reachable, you’ll see a confirmation message: Time spent successfully logged!. The extension also remembers which commits were already tracked and warns you if you try to track the same commit again.
