#  🛠️ `hledger` Utilities

This Python package extends [`hledger`](https://hledger.org) the [plaintextaccounting](https://plaintextaccounting.org) tool with some utilities.
 
## ✨ Features Added to `hledger`

### `hledger edit ...`: 📝 Editing `hledger` Transactions in your `$EDITOR`

```bash
# Opens your EDITOR (or VISUAL) with only transactions in € that have a Berlin tag
# You can modify them as usual, if you save and quit the editor, the changes will be
# applied to the appropriate files
hledger edit cur:€ tag:location=Berlin

# Opens your EDITOR with all transactions
hledger edit

# If you don't have LEDGER_FILE set, you need to specify a journal file as usual:
hledger edit -f journal.hledger
```

This should work with pretty much any hledger query, just substitute `hledger balance` or `hledger register` etc. with 'hledger edit'. This is a neat way of quickly editing transactions you were just inspecting.

# Install from the repository root
git clone https://gitlab.com/nobodyinperson/hledger-utils
cd hledger-utils
