Ledger CLI implementation

My own Go implementation of Ledger-CLI for three basic commands: register, balance and print. This project is being done as part of my SWE Internship at Encora.

Documentation

Installation

• You need to have a running version of Go in your computer
• Download or clone the code from here:

git clone https://github.com/davidcardd1/ledgerCLI-implementation

• Install the CLI in your computer:

go build .
go install .

• You might need to change the path of installation in your computer. First check where the CLI is installing with:

go list -f '{{.Target}}'

• then export that path to the executable:

export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/your/install/directory

• If this was the case, run (again)

go install . 

• Now you can start using the app like any other CLI tool. (no need to use "./" before commands)

How to use

• In the terminal run:

ledgerCLI-implementation -f `FILE` [flags] <command> [arguments ...]

• Three commands are currently working: balance (bal), register (reg) and print

• Three flags are currently working:

  • --sort EXPR (-S). Which can sort by: date (d), amount (a) or payee (p)
  • --file FILE (-f). Reads given ledger file. It defaults to "index.ledger"
  • --price-db FILE. Uses given file to read commodity prices
