# Fakedate
[Fakedate](https://gitlab.com/ufoot/fakedate) generates pseudo-random dates and times.
It is written in [Rust](https://www.rust-lang.org/)
and is mostly a toy project to ramp up on the language.
It might however be useful. Use at your own risk.
# Status
[](https://gitlab.com/ufoot/fakedate/pipelines)
Current version is 0.1.2.
# Install
No install target yet, copy the `fakedate` binary in your `$PATH` if you wish, that's all.
A few commands which may prove useful:
```sh
cargo build # build debug binary in ./target/debug/
cargo build --release # build release binary in ./target/release/
cargo test # launch tests
rustfmt src/*.rs # format code
./docker-build.sh # build Docker image with version tag
./bump-version.sh # bump minor version number
```
# Usage
Simply launch:
```sh
cargo run
```
Or just run the binary directly:
```sh
./target/debug/fakedate
./target/release/fakedate
```
Alternatively, using docker:
```sh
docker run ufoot/fakedate
```
To pass options:
```sh
cargo run -- -1975
```
By default, the date is a random date for the current year.
To use a different year:
```sh
fakedate -1975
```
Other standard options include:
* `-n`, `--no-newline`: no newline char at the end of the date
* `-w`, `--week-end`: force the date to be last week-end
* `-h`, `--help`: display a short help.
* `-v`, `--version`: display version.
