The script will attempt to download data from the Toggl servers and store the
data in a local cache file. For Linux users this will be in ~/.config/togglcmder/cache.db.
This file is a SQLITE database. For Windows users it will be in %APPDATA%/togglcmder.
This tool has not been tested on Windows. You may pass --help
