timeago-cli

A dead-simple CLI to convert RFC2822 to short humanize strings. Useful for prompts

Usage

bash $ timeago 'Wed, 21 Oct 2020 00:07:08 -0700'

Use it with git log to get how far back the last commit was

bash $ timeago "$(git log -1 --format=%cD)" 12h

Install

bash cargo install timeago-cli

Options

You can get longer strings with --long

bash $ timeago "$(git log -1 --format=%cD)" --long 12 hours

Or precise timeago strings with --precise

bash $ timeago "$(git log -1 --format=%cD)" --precise 12 hours 30 minutes and 19 seconds

Customize the separator (default ) with --seperator

bash $ timeago "$(git log -1 --format=%cD)" --precise --separator '|' 12h|31m|43s
