      2. When you click Accept, you can return to the IDEA. A notification displays that you are authorized to use Tempo.

    Now when you open a workspace within a git repository, the Tempo extension gives you the option to either Track, Ignore or Postpone all activity within the git repository. Repositories that have been tracked send time record suggestions to My Work in Tempo.

    If Postponed is selected, you receive a reminder the next time you open a project for this repository. You can then manually configure it in Preferences > Other Settings >Tempo.
