Hints

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:

:yesterday     The 24 hours of the previous day
:day           The 24 hours of the current day
:week          This week
:month         This month
:quarter       This quarter
:year          This year
:lastweek      Last week
:lastmonth     Last month
:lastquarter   Last quarter
:lastyear      Last year
