Welcome to the GNUCashGenerate wiki!

A few quick notes on usage - this was a quick and dirty project to achieve a given end. I got tired of writing repetitive entries in GNUCash. The command line has some quirks.

• If you do splits, you are limited to percentages of the transaction in the split accounts in increments of 1%.
• It won't check if they add up to 100%, so you should do that.
• I copy and paste account names from the books in the GNUCash, but that's not strictly necessary.
• Account names don't have to be enclosed in quotes, but it's a good idea, in case the argument parser gets changed in the future.
• Account names can have spaces in them.
• It's probably easy to blow up the argument parsing if you present malformed arguments.
• If the increment is 30 days, it assumes you want the same day of each month.
• This means if you choose Feb. 28th as the first day, and a 30 day increment, it will assume you want the last day of every month.
