I was looking at how other programs that have an overwhelming number of sub-commands and options deal with completion, namely how git does it, and I liked the clean workflow not spitting every available option until asked for. Hledger's main workflow is: > hledger COMMAND QUERY so I have tried to reproduce this with this change. Options are of course still there, but not shown until you ask for them by entering a dash on the command line. Also, the `acct:` filter proposes only top level accounts until there is some input from the user because accounts tend to be numerous as well. |

hledger project README
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 terminal and web interfaces, and a Haskell library 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.
