birthdays's Introduction

birthdays

Description

Show the birthdays in a time period so you don't forget them!

Features

Use a wrapper around Chronic so that the time specification is quite powerful.

Examples

By default use the file ~/.birthdays.yaml, that you can fill like:

"Father's Day": "3rd Sunday in June"
"Christmas": "25 December"
"New Year": "01 January"
"John Doe": 1970-01-01

Then to see the birthdays for next week just use

$ birthdays 'now..in 7 days'

By default it uses the current day. We can also specify several ranges:

$ birthdays '2020-01-01'
On 2020-01-01 12:00:00 +0100, the birthdays are
- New Year (born 2021-01-01, -1y)
- John Doe (born 1970-01-01, 50y)

$ birthdays '2020-01-01..2020-02-01' '2020-06-01..2020-08'
On (2020-01-01 12:00:00 +0100..2020-02-01 12:00:00 +0100), the birthdays are
- New Year (born 2021-01-01, -1y)
- John Doe (born 1970-01-01, 50y)
On (2020-06-01 12:00:00 +0200..2020-08-16 12:00:00 +0200), the birthdays are
- Father's Day (born 2021-06-20, -1y)

Or query for the age instead:

$ birthdays --age 2020-01-01 2030-01
On 2020-01-01 12:00:00 +0100, the ages are
