Doing uses a TaskPaper-like formatting to keep a plain text record of what you’ve been doing, complete with tag-based time tracking. The command line tool allows you to add entries, annotate with tags and notes, and view your entries with myriad options, with a focus on a “natural” language syntax.

List all entries
The argument can be a section name, @tag(s) or both.
"pick" or "choose" as an argument will offer a section menu. Run with `--menu` to get a menu of available tags. Show tags by passing @tagname arguments. Multiple tags can be combined, and you can specify the boolean used to combine them with `--bool (AND|OR|NOT)`. You can also use @+tagname to require a tag to match, or @-tagname to ignore entries containing tagname. +/- operators require `--bool PATTERN` (which is the default).

Add (or remove) tags from the last entry, or from multiple entries

For all tag removals the match is case insensitive by default, but if the tag search string contains any uppercase letters, the match will become case sensitive automatically.
