The --current-date
(-c
) flag enables a form of limited time travel, and attempts to run
the tools internal date calculations based on a specified date, rather then the
current date.
Some examples:
--current-date="March 31, 2011"
runs the tool as if it was March 31, 2021--current-date="-3 weeks"
runs the tool as if it was 3 weeks ago--current-date="3 weeks"
runs the tool as if it was 3 weeks from nowThe date micro-syntax is described as:
Anything that new Date(input)
parses, or if that fails it will assume to be a
relative duration starting today parsed by
parse-duration@^1.0.0's own micro-syntax.
The --config-file
(-f
) enables to provide a path to the config file with the configurations mentioned here.
