# Bookkeeping with GnuCash
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Initial setup
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In **GnuCash Preferences** (reached via Edit » Preferences), select the **General** vertical tab (these are alphabetical), and under **Files**, uncheck "Compress files".
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```{alert}
|
||
|
|
Turning off file compression is crucial because we commit our GnuCash file to Git for collaboration.
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Also in **GnuCash Preferences**, select the **Register Defaults** vertical tab, and under **Default Style** at the top select "Auto-split ledger".
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```{note}
|
||
|
|
This keeps the listing tight but allows quick recatogorization of expenses.
|
||
|
|
```
