NAME

       timew-import - import time-tracking data from files

SYNOPSIS

       timew import [<file>...]

DESCRIPTION

       Import tracked time from file. If no files are specified, the command will read from standard input.

       The data to import has to be in JSON format, as exported by timew-export(1), i.e. a single array with
       interval objects.

       When importing, the intervals are checked for overlaps with existing intervals. If an overlap is found,
       the import will abort at the first overlap and no more intervals are imported, unless the :adjust hint is
       specified.

       In general, it is recommended to create a backup of your data before importing.

HINTS

       :adjust
           When given, the imported interval will overwrite any existing intervals that it overlaps with.

EXAMPLES

       Import intervals from a file

           Import intervals from a single file:

               timew import intervals.json

           Any file path that does not start with a / is interpreted as relative to the current working
           directory.

       Import intervals from multiple files

           One can also use shell wildcards and absolute paths:

               timew import /path/to/intervals/*.json

       Import intervals from standard input

           Import intervals from stdin:

               timew export | ssh <server> 'timew import'

           This is especially useful for synchronizing intervals between different machines.
