history
Project history and usage
dateutils is a collection of command-line tools for date and time calculation, conversion, filtering, sorting, and comparison.
Project history
The project is maintained by Sebastian Freundt and presents itself as a Unix command family for date/time manipulation, with commands that intentionally resemble familiar shell tools.
Adoption history
The official homepage lists native packages across Linux distributions and BSD variants, which matches its role as a small system utility rather than an application framework.
How it is used
Package users reach for commands such as `dateadd`, `dateconv`, `datediff`, `dategrep`, `dateseq`, and `datesort` when shell scripts need calendar-aware operations without embedding custom date logic.
Why package nerds care
dateutils is package-nerd candy because it does one old Unix thing well: it extends text pipelines with calendar semantics, especially for financial-data workflows where ordinary `date` and `seq` get awkward.
Timeline
- 2010s: dateutils is distributed as a small command-line suite with upstream releases.
- 2014: The official homepage lists multiple distro and BSD package entries.
- 2020s: The GitHub repository remains the primary upstream source listed by the project.
Related projects
- The tools are conceptually adjacent to Unix `date`, `seq`, `grep`, `sort`, and the C library `strptime` function.
