PHP Command line client for Kimai.
Features
This command line client should help work Kimai remotely via your favorite shell.
It is based on the PHAR technology, so you need PHP >= 7.3 installed on your machine to use it.
You can find the full documentation at GitHub.
Download and install
I cannot help with windows installs, this is only for Linux and Mac:
curl -LO https://github.com/kevinpapst/kimai2-console/releases/latest/download/kimai.phar
curl -LO https://github.com/kevinpapst/kimai2-console/releases/latest/download/kimai.phar.sha1
sha1sum --check kimai.phar.sha1
rm kimai.phar.sha1
chmod +x kimai.phar
mv kimai.phar /usr/local/bin/kimai
Before using it the first time, you have to create a configuration file, which holds the connection infos for Kimai.
By default this config file will be located at ~/.kimai2-console.json:
kimai configuration
Make sure the file is only readable for your own user:
chmod 600 ~/.kimai2-console.json
That’s it, you can use Kimai from the command line now, like so:
$ kimai
$ kimai customer:list
By default the configuration file holds credentials for the demo installation … but now its time to target your own Kimai installation! Edit the config file and change the settings: URL, username and API token.
You can find all options in the help:
$ kimai
