A feature-rich command line cal alternative
I'm a huge fan of the Unix cal program, but it has a limited set of features
when it comes to colors and displaying date ranges. calz is an alternative
to cal with a whole host of features and layouting options.
brew install jez/formulae/calz
Check the Releases page for pre-built 64 bit binaries for Linux (note you'll also need libgmp installed).

The goal is to accept as many commonly used phrases for talking about dates as possible. If you find yourself using a phrase that's not accepted, please open an issue.
- Highlight arbitrary ISO-8601 dates provided on stdin
- Display line separators between months in flow layout
- Customize colors with flags
