hledger/examples

Here in examples/ you’ll find a mixed bag of sample journals, time logs, CSV rules, scripts, etc. Like the Cookbook docs, these vary in age and quality; “examples” here does not mean “exemplary”. Some may be ready to use; some are to be studied and adapted; some are just for interest; some are outdated and best ignored.

The content here is not necessarily stable but here are some subcategories as of 2024-01:

• budgeting - some budgeting-related journals
• costs - some examples of cost notation
• csv - a growing collection of rules and maybe helper scripts you can use and adapt for reading real world CSV/TSV/SSV files
• dungeons-and-dragons - a nifty example of dungeon master accounting
• i18n - examples of non-ascii data and account declarations in different languages
• investing - a place to collect investing-related journal entries
• invoicing - scripts and templates for generating invoices
• reporting - scripts related to producing reports
• self-tracking - a mini-tutorial on working with Marek Gibney’s “Syntax for Self-Tracking” logging format
• systemd - an example of systemd service configuration for hledger-web
• templates - a start at gathering “clean starter file sets for various needs” (2021)
