history

Project history and usage

clock-rs is a Rust terminal clock with timer and stopwatch modes, TOML configuration, shell completions, and package-manager distribution.

Project history

The official README describes clock-rs as a modern terminal-based Rust clock and a new alternative to tty-clock, adding a single configuration file and command-line overrides.

Adoption history

The README documents installation through Cargo, Homebrew, Arch AUR, NetBSD pkgsrc, and Nixpkgs, showing adoption across several package-manager ecosystems.

How it is used

Users run `clock-rs` for the default clock, or subcommands such as `timer` and `stopwatch`. Settings can live in `conf.toml` and be overridden by command-line options.

Why package nerds care

clock-rs is a good example of a polished Rust CLI moving through multiple packaging channels while keeping configuration simple and cross-platform.
