hledger import

Import new transactions from one or more data files to the main journal. More information: https://hledger.org/hledger.html#import.

• Import new transactions from bank.csv, using bank.csv.rules to convert:

hledger import {{path/to/bank.csv}}

• Show what would be imported from these two files, without doing anything:

hledger import {{path/to/bank1.csv}} {{path/to/bank2.csv}} --dry-run

• Import new transactions from all CSV files, using the same rules for all:

hledger import --rules-file {{common.rules}} *.csv

• Show conversion errors or results while editing bank.csv.rules:

watchexec -- hledger -f {{path/to/bank.csv}} print

• Mark bank.csv's current data as seen, as if already imported:

hledger import --catchup {{path/to/bank.csv}}

• Mark bank.csv as all new, as if not yet imported:

rm -f .latest.bank.csv
