## Run using Docker :whale:

```bash
docker pull ghcr.io/yankeexe/timezones-cli:latest
```

Verify signature of the image: requires [cosign](https://docs.sigstore.dev/cosign/installation/).

```bash
COSIGN_EXPERIMENTAL=true cosign verify ghcr.io/yankeexe/timezones-cli:latest
```

Create a config file manually first.

```bash
$ touch ~/.tz-cli

$ docker run --rm -it -v ${HOME}/.tz-cli:/home/tz/.tz-cli ghcr.io/yankeexe/timezones-cli search us
```
For convenience you can add alias of the command to your shell config:
```bash
$ echo "alias tz='docker run --rm -it -v ${HOME}/.tz-cli:/home/tz/.tz-cli ghcr.io/yankeexe/timezones-cli'" >> ~/.bashrc
$ source ~/.bashrc

$ echo "alias tz='docker run --rm -it -v ${HOME}/.tz-cli:/home/tz/.tz-cli ghcr.io/yankeexe/timezones-cli'" >> ~/.zshrc
$ source ~/.zshrc

# Use alias to invoke timezones-cli
$ tz search Nepal
```

---

For local debugging: Use the `make run` command followed by the command you want to run against the `tz` binary.

```bash
$ make run cmd="get ist"
```
