gt-time-create(1)

gt-time-create1

Log time spent on an issue

Usage

gt time create {<number> | <url>} <duration> [flags]

Overview

Log time spent on an issue or pull request. The duration uses h, m and s units, such as 1h25m or "1h 25m".

Arguments

An issue can be supplied as argument in any of the following formats:
- by number, e.g. "123" or "#123"
- by URL, e.g. "https://gitea.com/OWNER/REPO/issues/123"
- by repository and number, e.g. "OWNER/REPO#123"
Several issues must be in one repository. Next to "OWNER/REPO#123" or a URL, "124" means
OWNER/REPO#124, unless gt targets another repository otherwise, such as the clone's, --repo
or GITEA_CLI_REPO: then the command fails, and the number must be qualified.
