Convert bank csv files into ledger-cli format.

From ledger-cli.org,

Ledger is a powerful, double-entry accounting system that is accessed from the UNIX command-line.

However to use it we need out transactions to be encoded in ledger format. This tool lets us do that for any bank / finance handlers (Insurance, Stock Brokers) who can furnish a csv of transactions

How does it work

For a transaction snippet from Monzo csv:

tx_0000AZPPhBZWW3Pq4dXGYW,04/09/2023,02:02:01,Direct Debit,Hyperoptic,,Bills,-26.50,GBP,-26.50,GBP,HYP000000630597,,,HYP000000630597,,-26.50,
