== doing - A CLI for a What Was I Doing system Doing uses a TaskPaper-like formatting to keep a plain text record of what you've been doing, complete with tag-based time tracking. The command line tool allows you to add entries, annotate with tags and notes, and view your entries with myriad options, with a focus on a "natural" language syntax. v2.1.5pre === Global Options === --config_file arg Use a specific configuration file.

Add tag(s) to last entry Add (or remove) tags from the last entry, or from multiple entries (with `--count`), entries matching a search (with `--search`), or entries containing another tag (with `--tag`). When removing tags with `-r`, wildcards are allowed (`*` to match multiple characters, `?` to match a single character). With `--regex`, regular expressions will be interpreted instead of wildcards. For all tag removals the match is case insensitive by default, but if the tag search string contains any uppercase letters, the match will become case sensitive automatically.
