timew: Start a new stopwatch, giving a tag name to the activity being tracked.
$ timew start ${activity_tag}
try on your machine

This command initiates a new time tracking session for a specific activity with a provided tag.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "timew" refers to a time tracking command-line tool called "Timewarrior".
  • "start" is a subcommand that tells Timewarrior to start a new time tracking session.
  • "${activity_tag}" is a placeholder for the tag that you should replace with an actual tag name. A tag is a label or identifier that you can assign to your time tracking sessions to categorize them based on different activities or projects. For example, you could use tags like "work", "meeting", "coding", "research", etc.

To use this command, you would replace "${activity_tag}" with an actual tag name. For example, if you want to start a time tracking session for a project named "coding", you would execute the command as follows:

timew start coding

This command would start tracking time for the "coding" activity. You can later use other Timewarrior commands to stop, edit, or review your time tracking sessions.
