== doing - A CLI for a What Was I Doing system

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.

==== Command: <tt>meanwhile  [ENTRY]</tt>
Finish any running @meanwhile tasks and optionally create a new one

The @meanwhile tag allows you to have long-running entries that encompass smaller entries.
This command makes it easy to start and stop these overarching entries. Just run `doing meanwhile Starting work on this
big project` to start a @meanwhile entry, add other entries as you work on the project, then use `doing meanwhile` by
itself to mark the entry as @done.

Add tag(s) to last entry

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

          multiple characters, `?` to match a single character). With `--regex`,
          regular expressions will be interpreted instead of wildcards.

          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.

          Tag name arguments do not need to be prefixed with @.
