I created this script as a way to quickly add my shifts to my calendar, which I use via Khal on a Mac and sync it with iCloud via vdirsyncer.
Then, because I've been studying bash scripting and want practice, I went ahead and made it a little fancier by putting configuration into a separate file etc.
Usage:
./myshifts.sh [date] [time]+
[date] sets the date of the first shift you're adding
then [time] sets the start time of your shift that day
then after that, each new [time] you add will create
a new shift the next day, and the next and so on, for as many
days as you like. For days you don't work, you will type off.
Use myshifts.config.sample to set stuff like what dateformat
you use in khal, whether or not you want it to sync vdirsyncer
after the script finishes, and things like which calendar you
want your events added to, the name of the events created, and
the length of your shifts.
For [date], use %m/%d, for time, use %H:%m. In
myshifts.config.sample, you can set the dateformat to make
sure it'll match what you use in khal, and this script will
convert it to that. However, it won't do that for your timeformat,
so either edit the script yourself or make sure you use %H:%m as
your timeformat in khal, sorry...
Example:
./myshifts.sh 01/01 08:00 08:00 08:00 08:00 08:00 off off
Creates events from monday through friday starting at 8am, and no events for saturday and sunday.
Thanks for stopping by.
