Tutorial

to start working (message content is not important)
>>> tf log "Arrived."

to save a timestamp and your log message,
when finished doing a task write
>>> tf log "Timeflow: create README.rst"

here 'Timeflow' is a 'project' you were working on and 'create README.rst'
is a log of what you were exactly doing this time. Both project and log
must be separated by a colon and space (``: ``).

some tasks are not (payable) work, mark them with two asterisks (**)
>>> tf log "Slack: chatting in the office ** "

you can have 'projects' without any explanations
>>> tf log "Lunch ** "
>>> tf log "Daily Scrum"

if you made a mistake, or missed to log of your activities
you can edit like this
>>> tf edit

this way timeflow will try to run your editor set in $EDITOR
or you can try
>>> tf edit -e vim

to open log file in vim

to check how much you've worked today
>>> tf stats

or to make a report
>>> tf stats --report

you can pass date ranges for stats command, e.g.
>>> tf stats --from 2015-01-01 --to 2015-01-31
>>> tf stats --from 2015-01-01 --to 2015-01-31 --report
