Run A Time Report

timereport.sh

#!/usr/bin/env bash 
# You will want to also add the git today command: https://github.com/doctorallen/dotfiles/blob/master/.gitconfig#L49

                    project=${dir%*/}
                    echo ${project##*/}

I know this was just a quick thing to see if you could do it, but a couple things here:

• The "shebang" you used could be made more portable using the env command. I tend to run a newer version of bash on a lot of my machines in /usr/local/bin, so using the env command will allow me to run the newer/faster bash. More info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shebang_%28Unix%29#Portability
• You could easily make the "root" variable an argument, so users don't have to edit the script to change their root, and so they can copy the command to their dotfiles used on different machines without having to edit the file for each machine. More info here and here.

Thanks for the suggestions 😄

I have implemented both of your suggestions.

Awesome! Thanks Dave.
It looks great!
