# calz
> A feature-rich command line cal alternative
I'm a huge fan of the Unix `cal` program, but it has a limited set of features
when it comes to colors and displaying date *ranges*. `calz` is an alternative
to `cal` with a whole host of features and layouting options.
## Install
### Using Homebrew
```
brew install jez/formulae/calz
```
### On Linux
Check the [Releases](https://github.com/jez/calz/releases) page for pre-built
64 bit binaries for Linux (note you'll also need libgmp installed).
### From Source
To build this project from source, use Haskell's [Stack].
[Stack]: https://docs.haskellstack.org/en/stable/
```
git clone https://github.com/jez/calz.git
stack build && stack install
```
If you've packaged this software for your operating system, let me know and I
can link to it from these instructions.
## Usage
```
Display a calendar for a month or a range of months.
Usage:
calz [options] [...]
Options:
-l, --layout= Can be 'grid' or 'flow' [default: flow]
-n, --columns= If layout is 'grid': how many columns to use
[default: 3]
-C, --no-color Disable all color
-H, --no-labels Don't show month labels
-P, --no-pad Complete the first and last weeks of every month with
the first and last days of surrounding months
-h, --help Show this help message
Phrase:
calz []
calz
calz (last|this|next) (month|year)

The goal is to accept as many commonly used phrases for talking about dates as
possible. If you find yourself using a phrase that's not accepted, please open
an issue.
## Potential Future Features
- Highlight arbitrary ISO-8601 dates provided on stdin
- Display line separators between months in flow layout
- Customize colors with flags
