Timewarrior hints

## NAME

timew-hints - Timewarrior hints

## SYNOPSIS

## DESCRIPTION

Timewarrior supports hints, which are single-word command line features that start with a colon like this:

```
:week
```

Hints serve several purposes. This example is a shortcut for the date range that defines the current week.

Other hints, such as:

```
:quiet
```

are ways to control the behavior of Timewarrior, in this case eliminating all forms of feedback, for purposes of automation.

The supported hints are:

```
:quiet         Turns off all feedback. For automation
:debug         Runs in debug mode, shows many runtime details
:yes           Overrides confirmation by answering 'yes' to the questions
```

```
:color         Force color on, even if not connected to a TTY
:nocolor       Force color off, even if connected to a TTY
:blank         Leaves tracked time out of a report
:fill          Expand time to fill surrounding available gap
:adjust        Automatically correct overlaps
:ids           Displays interval ID numbers in the summary report
```

Range hints provide convenient shortcuts to date ranges:

```
:all           All tracked time
:yesterday     The 24 hours of the previous day
:day / :today  The 24 hours of the current day
:week          This week
:fortnight     This week and the one before
:month         This month
:quarter       This quarter
:year          This year
:lastweek      Last week
:lastmonth     Last month
:lastquarter   Last quarter
