The previous cleanup defined long help separately from the usage text generated by cmdargs. This meant keeping flag descriptions synced between the two, and also the short help was often too verbose and longer than the long help. Now, the non-usage bits of long help are defined as pre and postambles within the cmdargs mode, letting cmdargs generate the long help including all flags. We derive the short help from this by truncating at the start of the hledger common flags. Most of the bundled addons (all but hledger-budget) now use the new scheme and have pretty reasonable -h and --help output. We can do more to reduce boilerplate for addon authors. |

hledger
lightweight, portable, dependable accounting tools
hledger is a computer program for easily tracking money, time, or other commodities, on unix, mac and windows (and web-capable mobile devices, to some extent).
It is first a command-line tool, but there are also curses-style and web interfaces, and a Haskell library (http://hackage.haskell.org/package/hledger-lib) for building your own programs and scripts (hledger is written in Haskell). hledger was inspired by and is largely compatible with Ledger. hledger is free software available under the GNU General Public License v3+.
hledger aims to help both computer experts and regular folks to gain clarity and control in their finances and time management, but currently it is a bit more suited to techies. I use it every day to:
- track spending and income
- see time reports by day/week/month/project
- get accurate numbers for client billing and tax filing
- track invoices
Though limited in features, hledger is lightweight, usable and reliable. For some, it is a simpler, less distracting, more future-proof alternative to Quicken or GnuCash.
