Plain Text Accounting

Plain text accounting is a way of doing bookkeeping and accounting with plain text files and scriptable, command-line-friendly software, such as Ledger, hledger, or Beancount. Benefits include version control, scriptability, data portability and privacy. See https://plaintextaccounting.org and https://wiki.plaintextaccounting.org for more details.

If you have a PTA-ish project on Github, consider adding the plaintext-accounting (*) topic in your repo settings.

Some related topics: ledger-cli, hledger, beancount.

(*) The de facto spelling on Github. Try to get repos to switch to the idiomatic #plaintextaccounting if you wish!
