Tips
Tmux integration
Just add this to ~.tmux.conf: (works almost exactly like in pomo.rb)
set-option -g status-right '#(cat ~/.pomo_stat)'
...then invoke it with pomojs -t.
Logging
Invoke it with pomojs -l ~/.pomo.log to log any pomodoros. Log file looks like
this:
[2013-06-17 mon]6:14am - 6:44am = work on things (25m + 5m)7:05am - 7:32am = do great stuff (25m + 2m, stopped)[2013-06-18 tue]6:14am - 6:44am = eat pizza (25m + 5m)
Saving your settings
Add this to your shell config, so that the next time you can invoke pomojs
with preset settings:
# ~/.bash_profilealias pomo="pomojs --log ~/.pomo.log --tmux"
Even add more presets:
# long-break pomodoroalias longpomo="pomo -b 20"# 10-minute pomodoroalias minipomo="pomo -w 10"
Shortcut syntax
You can use this syntax to save some keystrokes.
# pomojs <work> <break> <reason>pomojs 25 2 Do things# the same as:pomojs --work 25 --break 2 Do things
