hledger-add

Add transactions interactively

$ hledger add

$ hledger add -f [journal.ledger]

$ hledger add --dry-run

$ hledger add --no-history

hledger add [options]

hledger add interactively prompts for new transactions and appends them to the journal file. It guides through date (defaults to today), description, account names, and amounts with auto-completion from existing entries. Ensures transactions balance before writing. Enter . when finished adding transactions.

-f, --file file

Use specified journal file.

Print entry without writing.

Disable suggestion of past values.

This is the only hledger command that writes to the journal file. Existing transactions are never modified.
