Terminal Setup Guide
Follow these steps to start tracking your coding time in Terminal 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 Terminal Plugin
Run this command in your terminal to install the Hack Club terminal-wakatime plugin:
curl -fsSL http://hack.club/terminal-wakatime.sh | sh
This installs terminal-wakatime
and automatically configures it for bash, zsh, or fish shells. The plugin will use your Hackatime configuration from the setup script.
Troubleshooting
- Not seeing your time? Make sure you completed the setup page first
- Plugin not working? Try restarting Terminal after installation
- Still stuck? Ask for help in Hack Club Slack (#hackatime-dev channel)
Next Steps
Once configured, your coding time will automatically appear on your Hackatime dashboard. Happy coding!
