+# GnuCash to Firefly III Migration Tool
+
+This tool helps you migrate your financial data from GnuCash to Firefly III automatically using the piecash library for robust GnuCash file parsing.
+
+## What it does
+
+- **Connects to your GnuCash SQLite database** using piecash library for reliable parsing
+- **Creates corresponding accounts in Firefly III** with proper hierarchical names and account types
+- **Migrates transactions** between accounts with dates, amounts, and descriptions
+- **Handles multiple currencies** by enabling them in Firefly III first
+- **Provides safety features** like test limits and accounts-only migration
+
+## What gets migrated
+
+### Accounts
+- All account types (assets, liabilities, expenses, income) with proper type mapping
+- **Full hierarchical account names** (e.g., "Assets:Current Assets:Checking Account")
+- Account descriptions and account numbers
+- Currency information
+- Placeholder accounts are skipped as they're organizational only
+
+### Transactions
+- Simple 2-split transactions with dates, amounts, descriptions
+- Transaction memos/notes
+- Multi-currency support
+- Complex split transactions are logged but skipped for manual review
+
+## Requirements
+
+```bash
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+```
+
+Or manually:
+```bash
+pip install requests python-dateutil piecash
+```
+
+## Setup
+
+1. **Get your Firefly III API token**
+   - Log into your Firefly III instance
+   - Go to Options → Profile → OAuth → Personal Access Tokens
+   - Create a new token and copy it
+
+2. **Set your API token** (choose one method):
+   
+   **Option A: Environment variable**
+   ```bash
+   export FIREFLY_TOKEN="your_actual_token_here"
+   ```
+   
+   **Option B: Command line argument**
+   ```bash
+   python g2f.py --firefly-token "your_actual_token_here" [other options]
+   ```
+
+3. **Export your GnuCash data to SQLite format**
+   - In GnuCash: File → Export → Export Accounts
+   - Choose SQLite format and save the .gnucash file
+
+## Usage
+
+
+### Migrate accounts only (useful for initial setup):
+```bash
+python g2f.py \
+  --gnucash-db "path/to/your/file.gnucash" \
+  --firefly-url "https://your-firefly-instance.com" \
+  --accounts-only
+```
+
+### Test with a few transactions:
+```bash
+python g2f.py \
+  --gnucash-db "path/to/your/file.gnucash" \
+  --firefly-url "https://your-firefly-instance.com" \
+  --test-limit 5
+```
+
+### Full migration:
+```bash
+python g2f.py \
+  --gnucash-db "path/to/your/file.gnucash" \
+  --firefly-url "https://your-firefly-instance.com"
+```
+
+## Command Line Options
+
+- `--gnucash-db` - Path to your GnuCash SQLite database file (required)
+- `--firefly-url` - Your Firefly III base URL (required)  
+- `--firefly-token` - API token (optional if using FIREFLY_TOKEN environment variable)
+- `--test-limit` - Limit number of transactions for testing (optional)
+- `--accounts-only` - Only migrate accounts, skip transactions
+
+## Safety Features
+
+- **Test limits**: Use `--test-limit` to migrate only a few transactions first
+- **Accounts-only mode**: Use `--accounts-only` to set up account structure first
+- **Detailed logging**: All actions are logged with timestamps
+- **Error handling**: Failed operations are logged and don't stop the entire migration
+- **Hierarchical account names**: Full GnuCash account paths preserve your organization
+
+## Account Type Mapping
+
+GnuCash types are mapped to Firefly III types as follows:
+
+| GnuCash Type | Firefly III Type |
+|--------------|------------------|
+| ASSET, BANK, CASH, CHECKING, SAVINGS, INVESTMENT, STOCK | asset |
+| LIABILITY, CREDIT, CREDITCARD, LOAN | liability |
+| EXPENSE | expense |
+| INCOME | revenue |
+| EQUITY, RECEIVABLE | asset |
+| PAYABLE | liability |
+
+## Account Hierarchy
+
+GnuCash's hierarchical account structure is preserved by using full account paths as names in Firefly III:
+
+- GnuCash: `Assets` → `Current Assets` → `Checking Account`
+- Firefly III: `Assets:Current Assets:Checking Account`
+
+This maintains your account organization while working within Firefly III's flat account structure.
+
+## Important Notes
+
+- **Always backup your Firefly III data** before running a migration
+- **Test with accounts-only first** using `--accounts-only` to verify account structure
+- **Then test with a small subset** using `--test-limit`
+- **Complex transactions** (more than 2 splits) are logged but not migrated - review these manually
+- **Placeholder accounts** are skipped as they're organizational only
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+1. **"Failed to connect to GnuCash database"**
+   - Make sure the file path is correct
+   - Ensure the file is in SQLite format (exported from GnuCash)
+   - Check that piecash can read your GnuCash version
+
+2. **"Failed to connect to Firefly III"**
+   - Check your Firefly III URL is correct and accessible
+   - Verify your API token is valid
+   - Ensure FIREFLY_TOKEN environment variable is set or use --firefly-token
+
+3. **"Missing account mapping for transaction"**
+   - Some accounts may have failed to create in Firefly III
+   - Check the logs for account creation errors
+   - Run with --accounts-only first to debug account issues
+
+## Example Output
+
+```
+2024-01-01 10:00:00 - INFO - Connected to GnuCash database: data.gnucash
+2024-01-01 10:00:01 - INFO - Successfully connected to Firefly III API
+2024-01-01 10:00:02 - INFO - Found 45 accounts in GnuCash
+2024-01-01 10:00:03 - INFO - Enabled currency: USD
+2024-01-01 10:00:04 - INFO - Created account: Assets:Current Assets:Checking Account -> 123
+2024-01-01 10:00:05 - INFO - Successfully created 42 accounts
+2024-01-01 10:00:06 - INFO - Found 1250 transactions in GnuCash
+2024-01-01 10:00:15 - INFO - Successfully created 1180 out of 1250 transactions
+2024-01-01 10:00:15 - INFO - Migration completed! Migrated 42 accounts and 1180 transactions
+```
+
+## Migration Workflow
+
+1. **Create accounts**: `python g2f.py --gnucash-db file.gnucash --firefly-url URL --accounts-only`
+2. **Migrate sample**: `python g2f.py --gnucash-db file.gnucash --firefly-url URL --test-limit 10`
+3. **Full migration**: `python g2f.py --gnucash-db file.gnucash --firefly-url URL`
