TotalRecall

Turn any csv-file into a Ledger journal.

Quickstart

Generate a sample config

total_recall sample
# An annotated config 'sample.yml' will be written to CWD.

Generate a ledger

The sample config contains 2 transactions.
Let's get 'em in a journal:

total_recall ledger -c sample.yml > sample.dat
# What account provides these transactions?  |Assets:Checking|
#
# +------------+-----+----------+
# | 03.11.2013 | Foo | 1.638,00 |
# +------------+-----+----------+
# To what account did the money go?
# Expenses:Foo
# +------------+-----+---------+
# | 03.11.2013 | Bar | -492,93 |
# +------------+-----+---------+
# To what account did the money go?
# Expenses:Bar

Now verify the ledger file:

ledger -f sample.dat balance

#         $ -1.145,07  Assets:Checking
#          $ 1.145,07  Expenses
#           $ -492,93    Bar
#          $ 1.638,00    Foo
#--------------------
#                   0

Now what?

May I suggest:

read sample.yml

It explains what options are available.

put your own csv in sample.yml and adjust the context

Usage

total_recall

# Commands:
#  total_recall help [COMMAND]              # Describe available commands or one specific command
#  total_recall init NAME                   # Generate a minimal config NAME.yml
#  total_recall ledger -c, --config=CONFIG  # Convert the config to a ledger
#  total_recall sample                      # Generate an annotated config

# typically you would do:
total_recall init my-bank

# fiddle with the settings in 'my-bank.yml' and test-run it:
total_recal ledger -c my-bank.yml
# to skip prompts just provide dummy-data:
yes 'Dummy' | total_recal ledger -c my-bank.yml

# export it to a journal:
total_recall ledger -c my-bank.yml > my-bank.dat

# verify correctness with ledger:
ledger -f my-bank.dat bal
