Muon is git based

So what ?

• it means it works async and offline
• You can easily backup your entry logs
  • by sending them to your own server over ssh.
    • Of course git can do it
  • or to github
    • Even store side-by-side as a branch in the same repository as your code
    • or in a different repository
• You can selectively push your tracking data to different people involved in your time tracking workflow
  • Your company
  • Project client
  • Same way git supports multiple strategies for working with code, here it supports multiple strategies for sharing your records.
