# timew-tag(1)

add tags to intervals

## NAME

timew-tag - add tags to intervals

## SYNOPSIS

```
timew tag [<id>...] <tag>...
```

## DESCRIPTION

The 'tag' command is used to add a tag to an interval. Using the 'summary' command, and specifying the ':ids' hint shows interval IDs. Using the right ID, you can identify an interval to tag.

## EXAMPLES

For example, show the IDs:

```
$ timew summary :week :ids
```

Then having selected '@2' as the interval you wish to tag:

```
$ timew tag @2 'New Tag'
```

Note that you can tag multiple intervals, with multiple tags:

```
$ timew tag @2 @10 @23 'Tag One' tag2 tag3
```

If there is active time tracking, you can omit the ID when you want to add tags to the current open interval:

```
$ timew start foo
$ timew tag bar
```

This results in the current interval having tags 'foo' and 'bar'.
