+# Workday
+
+[![Version](https://img.shields.io/github/v/release/becurrie/workday?include_prereleases&logo=github)](https://github.com/becurrie/workday/releases/latest)

+
+Workday is a python application that tracks git repositories and allows users
+to generate reports for the current day, syncing all worked on branches with
+an Outlook calendar.
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Python 3.9+
+- MacOS
+
+## How It Works
+
+Workday works by using the `reflog` associated with a repository, this essentially keeps
+track of all the commands that have been run against a repository. With this information,
+workday is able to generate and parse the data from this command into an itinerary view
+that shows how long you've spent on each branch throughout the day.
+
+When a report is generated by a user, the Outlook API is used to sync the available events
+with a calendar chosen by the user.
+
+- An additional configuration is available to sync report generation with Jira, allowing issue
+  summaries and descriptions to be included in the events synced with Outlook.
+
+### Outlook Authentication
+
+Outlook authentication can be handled through the Outlook menu available in the system-tray
+application manually, or authentication will be handled during report generation if it hasn't
+already been configured.
+
+Outlook authentication is handled through an OAuth2 flow that asks you to sign in on the web,
+and copy and paste the resulting url into a prompt. All of your authentication information is stored
+locally, and you only ever need to sign in once (unless you manually revoke Outlook access).
+
+### Jira Authentication
+
+Jira authentication is a separate, optional setting that can be enabled/disabled through the
+system-tray application. Jira authentication requires the following settings to be configured manually
+before additional branch information/context is included when generating reports:
+
+| Jira Configuration | Description                                                                                               |
+|--------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
+| Jira Url           | Your current Jira url, usually similar to: https://organization.atlassian.net/                           |
+| Jira Username      | Your current Jira username/email.                                                                        |
+| Jira Token         | Your current Jira token, generated manually, https://id.atlassian.com/manage-profile/security/api-tokens  |
+
+If you're Jira options are set up correctly, and you have enabled Jira Sync, additional information
+is used when generating a daily report, the `Subject` line of an event will also include the `Summary`
+taken from the associated Jira issue, and the `Body` of an event will include the `Description` of the 
+associated Jira issue.
+
+## Installation
+
+- You can also just download the latest executable from [here](https://github.com/becurrie/workday/releases/latest) 
+  instead of pulling down the source code and setting up a development environment.
+
+If you plan on setting up a development environment, use the instructions below:
+
+- Clone or download the source code available on the latest `main` branch.
+- Install the requirements taken from the `requirements.txt` file.
+
+```bash
+pip install -r requirements/requirements.txt
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+> If you're using the latest executable available, you can just launch the application
+> directly and ignore the instructions below.
+
+- Run `src/workday.py` to launch the application from within a development environment.
