Geocal

A command line tool displaying a calendar and ephemeris of a geodate.

Installation

First you need to install Rust:

$ curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh

Then you can install the latest stable version with cargo:

Or the development version by fetching the git repository:

$ git clone git://github.com/vinc/geocal.git
$ cd geocal
$ cargo install --path .

Usage

Run this tool with a latitude, a longitude, and optionally a timestamp, to get a calendar representation of a geodate:
