twonfi 13d54cab54 Replace WakaTime editor links with Hackatime docs (#436)
* Replace WakaTime editor links with Hackatime docs

Hackatime has its own editor docs which are Hackatime-specific (like
using the automated script instead of manual WakaTime setup), so it
makes sense to use Hackatime's own docs.

* Merge branch 'main' into change-wakatime-to-hackatime-docs

* nit picks and grammar

Add Plugins to Your Editor

Here's how to add WakaTime plugins to your code editor so Hackatime can track your coding time.

What You Need

Before you start, make sure you have:

Step 1: Do the Automated Setup

First, use our automated setup tutorial! It automatically sets up your API key and endpoint so everything works perfectly.

Step 2: Add WakaTime Plugin

After doing the automated setup, install the WakaTime plugin for your editor. Visit our editor documentation for instructions on how to install a WakaTime plugin for your specific editor.

Already Have the Plugin Installed?

If you already have a WakaTime plugin, just run the setup page to switch it to Hackatime. It will automatically update your settings.

Check If It's Working

After setup, start coding! Your time will show up on your Hackatime dashboard in a few minutes.
