Hackatime FAQ

If you think something should be added please open a pr or issue or contact me on slack (@krn)

This is a living document so more information will be added here as we discover it and figure out what the common questions are.

Config

This is an example of a hackatime config config file.

.wakatime.cfg

[settings]
api_url = https://waka.hackclub.com/api
api_key = a12b34c5-6d7e-89f0-g1h2-i3j456k78901

This file should be placed in your home directory.

for Linux users this would be ~/.wakatime.cfg (/home/yourusername/.wakatime.cfg) or wherever your home dir is configured to be
for MacOS users this would be basicaly the same ~/.wakatime.cfg but with a slightly different absolute path (/Users/yourusername/.wakatime.cfg)
for Windows users simply go to file manager and type in %USERPROFILE% and then create a .wakatime.cfg file in the folder that appears when you hit enter (absolutely it would be something like C:\Users\yourusername\.wakatime.cfg)
