TIMEW-UNTAG(1)

✨ TIMEW-UNTAG(1) β€” the timew-untag glow-up ✨

okay so bestie, you know how you accidentally tagged a whole chunk of your day with something cursed and now you want it gone? yeah. this is that tool. it's part of the timew family πŸ’…


πŸŽ€ NAME πŸŽ€

timew-untag β€” the one where you take tags away from intervals. yes queen, removal rights ✨


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

timew untag [<id>... ] <tag>...

literally just an optional pile of <id>s and then one or more <tag>s. that's the whole vibe πŸ¦‹


πŸ’– DESCRIPTION πŸ’–

The untag command exists to remove a tag from an interval. that's it, that's the job, and it does it flawlessly πŸ‘‘

so here's how you find what you wanna untag: use the summary command, and toss in the :ids hint β€” that shows you the interval IDs. then grab the right ID and boom, you've identified the interval you're about to untag. iykyk 🫢


πŸ¦‹ EXAMPLES πŸ¦‹

first up, show the IDs β€” like a little reveal moment:

$ timew summary :week :ids

then, having selected '@2' as the interval you wish to untag (iconic choice, no notes):

$ timew untag @2 'Old Tag'

and here's the part where it gets good β€” you can untag multiple intervals with multiple tags. a whole group chat of removals πŸ’€

$ timew untag @2 @10 @23 'Old Tag' tag2 tag3

now this next one is my personal fave πŸ“ if there's active time tracking going on, you can omit the ID when you want to remove tags from the current open interval. so like:

$ timew start foo bar
$ timew untag bar

and the result? the current interval ends up with tag 'foo' but not 'bar'. slay. bar is out, foo stays, the vibes are intact 🌈
