Can I sync timewarrior data using taskchampion?

[coglinks]

Is there a way to sync timewarrior data across devices? Can I assign those as a UDA, sync and use it in other devices?

I have seen Timewarrior synchronize's work, but 2 servers for tasks seems excessive

I wasn't aware of that sync library. I don't know much about Timewarrior, but I suspect that any data it stores outside of the task DB can't be synchronized with TaskChampion. Maybe @lauft has more input?

Timewarrior stores things in totally different flat text files of its own:

• it has one file for tags data and count of intervals per tag
• another file with interval start and end times with tags corresponding to that interval. The interval file is one per month. These are not JSON.
• There is also a global undo file that records each transaction with what is essentially a YAML record, but each interval has the same key name (txn) so while it parses as YAML, it ends up with one single record. It probably isn't intended to be YAML per se, but I don't know.

So no, it can't be synchronized with TaskChampion.

If you only work on one system at a time, it would probably work to just synchronize the timewarrior data directory using rsync when you move between systems. But you would have to always remember to sync your changes when you switch systems.

I suppose git on the data dir should work also, with the same caveats. Just push when you are about to switch systems, then pull on the system you're switching to.
