# gt-time-create(1)

Log time spent on an issue

## NAME

gt-time-create - Log time spent on an issue

## SYNOPSIS

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

## DESCRIPTION

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.
```
