Manage entries

Life and d-day can be saved. Data is written to flat files under the active user's home directory (See preferences library).

Save

To save an entry, run timebar life -s for a life and timebar dday -s for a d-day. Once the information is successfully saved, you'll get the time bar just running timebar life {NAME} or timebar dday {NAME} next time.

List

To get a list of previously saved d-days and lives, run timebar ls.

TYPE        | NAME        | DURATION
life        | Brian       | 101 years
d-day       | big-trip    | 28/1/1999 - 29/12/2023

d-day       | launch      | 3/1/2020 - 29/12/2021

To remove a specific previously-saved data, run timebar rm {NAME}. To remove all saved data, run timebar rm -a.
