Command line interface to Rippling HR.
You can either compile it yourself, but it requires rust ecosystem with cargo

cargo install --path cli
Alternatively you can download a binary release. At least on MacOS you probably will have to clear the quarantine flag after downloading to make it executable:
xattr -d com.apple.quarantine rippling-cli
Disclaimer: This tool persists access token readable on your disk, so it can run commands without authenticating every time. Use it only on a machine that is always under your control.
You can configure your user name to avoid being prompted when authenticating:
rippling-cli configure username [email protected]
Afterwards you can authenticate. Access token will be saved locally and is valid for 30 days usually.
rippling-cli authenticate

Example: rippling-cli manual 8:30-17
Will add an entry from 8:30 to 17:00 with the German statutory breaks in the middle, in this case a 30min break from 12:30 to 13:00. The statutory break is 30min when working over 6hrs, and 45min when working over 9hrs. The minimum valid break is 15min, so when adding an entry like 8-14:05
it will use a 15min break and not 5min.`

If you enabled MFA in your account you will probably have to use the token flow frequently. Otherwise it usually requires re-running a mfa flow every couple of weeks to unblock your IP address & API token. Try mfa if you get cryptic error messages.
