How to Track Time in Sublime Text

Let's set up Sublime Text to count how much time you spend coding!

Step 1: Make a Hackatime Account

Go to Hackatime and make an account. Then log in.

Step 2: Get Your Settings Ready

Click this link to the setup page. It will set up your account so it works with Sublime Text.

Step 3: Add the Plugin to Sublime Text

1. Open Sublime Text
2. Go to Tools → Command Palette (or press Ctrl+Shift+P on Windows, Cmd+Shift+P on Mac)
3. Type "install" and choose Package Control: Install Package
4. Wait a moment, then type "WakaTime"
5. Click on WakaTime to install it
6. It will ask for your API key - just press Enter (it uses your settings from Step 2)

That's it! The plugin will use your settings from Step 2.

If Something Goes Wrong

Can't see your time? Go back to the setup page and try again.

Plugin not working? Close Sublime Text and open it again.

Don't have Package Control? Go to packagecontrol.io to install it first.

Still having trouble? Ask for help in Hack Club Slack - look for the #hackatime-v2 channel.

What Happens Next

Start coding! Your time will show up on your Hackatime page in a few minutes.
