Feature request: summary by tag

[pblue3]

Hello, first of all, thank you for boat-cli, I use it every day :)
Do you think it would be possible to add a summary by tag?

Or perhaps just restrict the listing by tag, similar to the date filtering.
Thanks a lot !

I completely missed your comment @pblue3, sorry for that...
I am so surprised someone is using this project already lol.

To answer your question:
I think its a great idea. It's not something I really thought about doing before but I will definitely tackle it next :D

⚠️ If you are really still using this on a daily basis, I want to apologize as I am still trying to figure out the CLI commands and args, there will be breaking changes soon.

I am working on splitting the boat list --summary into its own command 'boat report' as I think it makes more sense and will allow for more control on both list and report.
Also working on support for configuring defaults via config.toml:

database_path = "/home/coco/Workspace/personal/Programming/gh/coko7_git/boat-cli/boat.db"
period = "today"
format = "plain"

[commands.new]
auto_start = false

[commands.start]
quick_start = true

[commands.cancel]
confirm = true

[commands.edit]
show_instructions = true
show_activity_definitions = true
confirm = true

[commands.delete]
confirm = true

[commands.list]

[commands.report]

So yeah, please pardon me for the 'API breaks', the project is still in beta and don't hesitate if you have questions or suggestions ^^

Hi @pblue3, I have implemented the feature for tags filtering in the latest release of boat: v0.9.0
You can use -t/--filter-by-tags on boat list and boat report commands, and provide a list of comma-separated tags foo,bar,baz and it will only display activities that have all the specified tags.

Awesome! can't wait to try it! Thanks a lot!
Also, I really appreciate the heads-up about the upcoming changes (config file, API breaks, and the new boat report command).🙏

For now, I've only integrated boat-cli into my launcher (vicinae) so it's définitly not a big deal
