I rarely ever use the date command, but when I need it I almost always struggle to get the right incantation. So, wrote a blog post for easy reference.

Do you use a cheatsheet as well?

    Second sentence of the description from the man pages, “Otherwise, depending on the options specified, date will set the date and time or print it in a user-defined way.” not sure what they were on about.

      Right - I’m just saying that it’s super annoying that people point out times that llms have been wrong as though humans are never wrong, or even aren’t wrong frequently.

        I get that. It’s funny I think I’ve gotten advice in the past to always check the results of search engines because they can be wrong (as in teachers said it to me) or things about Wikipedia being unreliable. But nobody does those things nowadays. Perhaps someday LLMs will be good enough that we don’t need to check them either.
