command_help VS ledger

https://github.com/learnbyexample/command_help to extract help text from builtin commands and man pages, ex:

https://github.com/learnbyexample/command_help is big enough to warrant a repo, examples, limitations, etc. I had a list of todo items to improve the script, but after years of usage, I'm fine with the limitations since I rarely encounter them. This helps me to extract documentation of particular options, here's an example:

I wrote one a few years back (https://github.com/learnbyexample/command_help). It has a few corner case issues, but works most of the time for me and supports multiple options to be retrieved.

I particularly wanted to lookup documentation for command options from my terminal (instead of the website), so wrote a script for it: https://github.com/learnbyexample/command_help ... Have a long pending todo list, but despite the issues, the tool is good enough for my needs.

When I start a project, I usually try to write the programs incrementally. Say I need to iterate over files from a directory. I will make sure that portion is working (usually with print() statements), then add another feature — say file reading and test that and so on. This reduces the burden of testing a large program at once at the end. And depending upon the nature of the program, I'll add a few sanity tests at the end. For example, for my command_help project, I copy pasted a few test runs of the program with different options and arguments into a separate file and wrote a program to perform these tests programmatically whenever the source code is modified.

I download my transactions as CSV files on a monthly basis and import them into my ledger; https://www.ledger-cli.org/.

I like plain text accounting like https://www.ledger-cli.org/

I use https://www.ledger-cli.org/ to do this. It does need to be periodically reconciled but is pretty easy once a month thing.

Ledger-cli. Through this I have learnt the key principles of book keeping and am able to easily understand what is happening with my money. https://www.ledger-cli.org/

If you solve your problem using account("...").total can you post it to https://github.com/ledger/ledger/issues/2099 so it can be added to the docs.

Probably (!?) a bit unconventional but I use https://www.ledger-cli.org/ to manage a set of virtual savings accounts that are stored in single account at the FI. Virtually unlimited amount s of them can be created this way. It's a bit manual, but I don't even have to log in to 'move' money between sub accounts.

Anything build on these,github.com/ledger/ledger/wiki/Ports, like MoLe.

So I use a program called ledger-cli (not affiliated with the hard wallet) for all of my personal finances because it's relatively simple and very extensible. All you need is the program and a text editor really. With BTC, it will automatically track your lots so you know where to sell, gift, whatever in terms of FIFO/LIFO/HIFO for taxes. With just a couple simple commands I can see almost whatever I want about my BTC; where it's all at (exchanges, hardware wallets, etc), my capital gains (if I traded), expenses, fees, average I've paid per BTC, how much my BTC is worth across all locations, how much I've invested, heck, I can even graph from it.
