Simple doubly-entry accounting program

Features

The ledger_cli program can process transactions and do basic manipulation of the ledger books it generates. Note that this program does not claim to be aware of any accounting standards! The user is responsible for ensuring that transactions comply with such standards if they apply.

After cloning the repository and initializing submodules,

git clone https://github.com/codylico/ledger.git
git submodule update --init --recursive

the user should make and enter a build directory,

mkdir build
cd build

then run CMake from that build directory.

cmake path/to/source/of/ledger
