TIMEW-START(1)

NAME
timew-start - start time tracking

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

Begins tracking using the current time with any specified set of tags. If a tag contains multiple words, therefore containing spaces, use quotes to surround the whole tag.

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. This is useful when you want to start tracking time immediately after finishing a previous task without specifying a start time.

EXAMPLES

For example, this command specifies two tags ('weekend' and 'Home & Garden'), the second of which requires quotes.

    $ 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.

Quotes are harmless if used unnecessarily.
