I made the switch to hledger about two years ago and I have struggled using the command line to input my transactions. Right now I use my text editor (nvim) and a snippet engine for my common / recurring transactions. This may be a little more work than just setting everything up to work automatically, but I like it. For reporting, there are some tools which can help with that, I used to use hreports [0], but have since switched to my own script, which exports the data from hledger and queries it itself.

A good (although opinionated) resource for learning how to use hledger is the manual, which goes in depth about different accounting and modeling concepts [1].

Too opinionated ? I'd be interested in examples of that.

I did say "opinionated", not "too opinionated" and I believe that is a fair characterization, would you not agree?

Anyway, thanks for all your work on hledger and pta in general, Simon!

"although" made me think it might be too opinionated in places I should review. No matter, whatever you think of it is fair. Thanks!
