Tutorial
--------
First of all, you can abbreviate all commands to their first letter, so `t in`
and `t i` are equivalent.
.. note::
Managing entries
................
yo, doc this
Register the start of an activity in the default timesheet with:
Commands
--------
t in 'Doing some coding'
.. note::
which sets the activity's start time to the current time. Later when you're done
use
TODO finish this
t out
t-in
....
to mark it as finished. If you forgot to start the activity before you can do so
with:
login
t i --at '20 min ago'
Settings
--------
the same applies for `t out`.
.. note::
Edit an entry with
t edit [options]
where the options are
-i, --id <id:i> Alter entry with id <id> instead of the running entry
-s, --start <time:qs> Change the start time to <time>
-e, --end <time:qs> Change the end time to <time>
-a, --append Append to the current note instead of replacing it
the delimiter between appended notes is
configurable (see configure)
-m, --move <sheet> Move to another sheet
You can remove an entry with
t kill --id 123
or an entire timesheet with
t kill somesheet
check bellow to see how to get the ids.
Displaying entries
..................
At any point in time you can check your time spent in the current or other
timesheet with:
t display [options] [SHEET | all | full]
the available options are
-v, --ids Print database ids (for use with edit)
-s, --start <date:qs> Include entries that start on this date or later
-e, --end <date:qs> Include entries that start on this date or earlier
-f, --format <format> The output format. Valid built-in formats are
chart, text (default), ical, csv, json and ids.
Check the docs on defining custom formats bellow.
-g, --grep <regexp> Include entries where the note matches this regexp
Some shortcuts available are:
`today` - Display entries that started today
t today [--ids] [--format FMT] [SHEET | all]
`yesterday` - Display entries that started yesterday
t yesterday [--ids] [--format FMT] [SHEET | all]
`week` - Entries of this week so far. The default start of the week is Monday
(configurable).
t week [--ids] [--end DATE] [--format FMT] [SHEET | all]
`month` - Entries of this month or a specified one.
t month [--ids] [--start MONTH] [--format FMT] [SHEET | all]

Per command default formatters
..............................
.. note::
likely move this to the section above
**New in 1.4.0**
It might be the case that you want to use one default formatter for when you use
`t week` and a different one for `t month` or `t today`. That's what per-command
default formatters are for. To use them just add a `commands` section to your
config file and set `default_formatter` on some formatters. This is what it
``t week`` and a different one for ``t month`` or ``t today``. That's what per-command

Using different timesheets
..........................
You can organize your activities in different timesheets by first switching to
an existing one, then starting an activity:
t sheet somename
t in 'some activity'
which will also create the timesheet if it doesn't exist.
List all existing timesheets using
t list [all]
(defaults to not showing archive timesheets with names preceded by an
underscore)
Advanced management
...................
You can archive entries from a timesheet using:
t archive [OPTIONS] [SHEET]
which defaults to archiving all entries in the current sheet, or you can be more
specific using these options:
-s, --start <date:qs> Include entries that start on this date or later.
-e, --end <date:qs> Include entries that start on this date or earlier.
-g, --grep <regexp> Include entries where the note matches this regexp.
-t, --time <hours> Only archive up to `hours` hours.
This subcommand will move the selected entries to a hidden timesheet named
`_[SHEET]` (the name of the timesheet preceded by an underscore).
It is possible to access directly the sqlite database using
t backend
Configuration
.............
`tiempo` keeps a config file, whose location you can learn usign `t configure`.
It is also possible to edit the config file in-place passing arguments to
`t configure` like this:
t c --append-notes-delimiter ';'
it will print the resulting config file. Beware that it wont keep comments added
to the file.

You can implement your own formatters for all subcommands that display entries

written in any programming language (interpreted or compiled) and placing it in
a path listed in the config value for `formatter_search_paths`.
