💖 TIMEW-START(1) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the User Manuals page for TIMEW-START(1) — aka the timew-start(1) manual — and it is literally the group chat for starting time tracking ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

timew-start — start time tracking 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

timew start [<date>] [<tag>...]

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Bestie, this is the one that begins tracking using the current time, with any specified set of tags you throw at it. Slay.

If a tag contains multiple words — meaning it has spaces — surround the whole tag with quotes. That’s the whole vibe check: quote the whole thing, not just one word, okay? 🫶

🎀 HINTS 🎀

The start command accepts the following hints:

  • :fill — the ':fill' hint can be used to create a new interval that starts right after the last closed interval. Lowkey iconic when you want to start tracking time immediately after finishing a previous task without specifying a start time. No cap ✨

🦋 EXAMPLES 🦋

For example, this command specifies two tags — weekend and Home & Garden — and the second one requires quotes. Yes, she’s extra, but she’s correct 💅

$ timew start weekend 'Home & Garden'

An optional date may be specified to indicate the intended start of the tracked time:

$ timew start 8am weekend 'Home & Garden'

If there is a previous open interval, it will be closed at the given start time. Periodt.

Quotes are harmless if used unnecessarily. So if you’re feeling quote-y, go off — it’s literally fine 😌
