Neovim

Follow these steps to start tracking your coding time in Neovim with Hackatime.

Step 1: Log into Hackatime

Make sure you have a Hackatime account and are logged in.

Step 2: Run the setup script

Visit the setup page to automatically configure your API key and endpoint. This ensures everything works perfectly with Hackatime.

Step 3: Install Neovim plugin

Follow the detailed plugin installation instructions on the WakaTime Neovim page.

The WakaTime plugin will automatically use your Hackatime configuration after running the setup script.

Step 4: Initialize the project

Hackatime only tracks time for files within a git repository. Make sure your project folder contains a .git folder (i.e., run git init or git clone your project first).

Troubleshooting

  • Not seeing your time? Make sure you completed the setup page first
  • Plugin not working? Try restarting Neovim after installation
  • Still stuck? Ask for help in Hack Club Slack (#hackatime-help channel)

Next steps

Once configured, your coding time will automatically appear on your Hackatime dashboard. Happy coding!
