The CLI Clock is intended to be a simple and reliable digital clock for your Linux shell. The idea to create such a script came after trying to find a simple shell script or python script to do the same thing online. I couldn't find one that I actually liked, and that was easy to customise, so I created my own.
$ pip3 install pyfiglet- Download the latest release from here
- Extract the downloaded release and run with Python.
$ python3.7 main.pyThe variables at the start of the script can all be changed to modify the look and feel of the clock.
