Timey

Timey is a command-line application written in Rust which allows for quick and easy translation between timestamps and formatted date-times.

Installation

First you'll need to install Rust. There are instructions here.

Once you have Rust installed, simply run:

bash cargo install timey

Usage

Parse a date-time string into a timestamp

bash $ timey parse '2019-03-05 00:00 +0100' --format '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M %z' 1551744000

bash $ timey parse '2019-03-05T00:00+01:00' 1525521780

Format a timestamp as a date-time string

bash $ timey format 1525521780 2019-03-05T00:00+01:00

bash timey format 1525521780 -f '%Y-%m-%d' 2018-05-05

Formatting Options

For a full list of formatting specifiers, see here.

Options

bash -c, --copy # Copy the result to your the clipboard -f, --format # The date format to use for parsing/formatting -m, --millis # Use timestamps in millis rather than seconds -h, --help # Display help

Display Current Time

The -c flag for copying the result to the clipboard also works with these commands.

As a timestamp

bash $ timey now display 1551908316

bash $ timey now display -m 1551908316000

As a formatted date-time string

bash $ timey now format 2019-03-06T21:38:30.265352+00:00

bash $ timey now format -f '%Y-%m-%d' 2019-03-06
