timew-start - start time tracking

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

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.

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.

timew-cancel(1), timew-continue(1), timew-stop(1), timew-track(1)
