NAME
     timew-start - start time tracking

SYNOPSIS
     timew start [<date>] [<tag>...]

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.

HINTS
     The start command accepts the following hints:

     :fill
	 The ':fill' hint can be used to create a new interval that starts right
	 after the last closed interval. This is useful when you want  to  start
	 tracking time immediately after finishing a previous task without spec-
	 ifying a start time.

EXAMPLES
     For  example,  this  command specifies two tags ('weekend' and 'Home & Gar-
     den'), the second of which requires quotes.

	 $ timew start weekend 'Home & Garden'

     An optional date may be specified to indicate the	intended  start  of  the
     tracked time:

	 $ timew start 8am weekend 'Home & Garden'

     If  there is a previous open interval, it will be closed at the given start
     time.

     Quotes are harmless if used unnecessarily.
