timew: Stop the stopwatch with a given tag name.
$ timew stop ${activity_tag}
try on your machine

The command "timew stop ${activity_tag}" is used to stop tracking the time spent on an activity in the timewarrior time tracking system.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "timew" is the name of the command-line tool or program used for managing and tracking time in the timewarrior system.
  • "stop" is a subcommand of timew. It is used to mark the end or stop time of an activity. It tells timew that you have finished working on a particular task.
  • "${activity_tag}" is a placeholder representing the specific activity tag or identifier associated with the activity you want to stop tracking. This could be a project name, task number, or any other label you have assigned to the activity when you started tracking it.

By running this command and providing the appropriate activity tag, timew will record the end time of the activity, calculate the time duration, and update the overall time tracking data accordingly.
