.SH NAME
timew-start \- start time tracking
.
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B timew start
[
.I <date>
] [
.I <tag>
.B ...
]
.
.SH DESCRIPTION
Begins tracking using the current time with any specified set of tags.
If a tag contains multiple words, therefore containing spaces, use quotes to surround the whole tag.
.
.SH EXAMPLES
For example, this command specifies two tags ('weekend' and 'Home & Garden'), the second of which requires quotes.
.RS
$ timew start weekend 'Home & Garden'
.RE
An optional date may be specified to indicate the intended start of the tracked time:
.RS
$ timew start 8am weekend 'Home & Garden'
.RE
If there is a previous open interval, it will be closed at the given start time.
.
Quotes are harmless if used unnecessarily.
