🕓 BTime

Never be late

BTime, your new personal command line assistant that manages all your personal daily and weekly reminders.

Sounds fancy, but under the hood, it's just a python script that helps you schedule and manage more efficiently your cron time-based Unix-like tasks.

Installation

To install BTime in a Unix system, follow these steps:

Requirements

• Make sure you have git installed.

  sudo apt-get install git
  

• Make sure you have pip or pip3 installed.

  sudo apt-get install python3-pip
  

Steps

• Install python-crontab library:

  pip3 install python-crontab
  

• Install simple-term-menu library

  pip3 install simple-term-menu
  

• Navigate to the directory you want to install BTime

  cd /home/username/<my_btime_directory>
  

• Clone this repository

  git clone https://github.com/MiquelEspinosa/BTime.git
  

• Move inside Never-be-late directory:

  cd BTime
  

• Add btime alias to your bash profile (if you are using bash). (Important: Make sure you run this command inside the Never-be-late directory.)

  echo 'alias btime="python3 '$(pwd)'/main.py"'  >> ~/.bashrc
  

  • If you are using zsh, run instead

    echo 'alias btime="python3 '$(pwd)'/main.py"' >> ~/.zshrc
    

• Source your bash or zsh profile by running:

  • For bash

    source ~/.bashrc
    

  • For zsh

    source ~/.zshrc
    

• Finally, you should see a welcoming message when you run:

  btime show
