hledger/hledger.conf.sample

# An example hledger config file, for you to customise.
# This declares extra options/arguments to be added to your hledger commands.
# Save as ~/.hledger.conf, or ~/.config/hledger/hledger.conf, or hledger.conf
# in or above your current directory, and hledger will use it automatically.
#
# If you use a config file, be careful about what you put in it.
# It changes hledger's behaviour, so it's easy to confuse yourself,
# disrupt reports, or break scripts/applications which use hledger.
# If a command is not working as expected, run with --debug to troubleshoot.
# To avoid using any config file, you can run hledger with -n/--no-conf.
#
# You can also: choose a config file with --conf, or add a shebang line (eg
# #!/usr/bin/env -S hledger --conf) to config files and run them like scripts.


# 1. General options. These will be used with all commands which support them.

# Show prettier tables in reports.
# Recommended unless your font doesn't support box drawing characters.
--pretty

# Postpone balance assertions until you use -s or `hledger check assertions`.
# Less need to write -I while fixing issues.
--ignore-assertions

# Always infer these things ? Why not.
--infer-costs
--infer-equity
--infer-market-prices


# 2. Command-specific options.

[print]
--explicit     # show missing amounts
--show-costs   # show costs

[help]
--man          # if you prefer man over info

# Set your preferred options for the balance commands.
# You can override these by adding more options on the command line.

# You can set options/arguments for addon commands too (when started by
# `hledger CMD`). The -- argument needed at command line is not needed here.

# watch for file changes, set a depth limit, hide zeros and equity accounts.
