Examples

# shift the time forward by 4m51s
timeshift -i "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%fZ" -m 5 -s -9 mysql_error.log

# same as above, but use an alias
# (use -A to see all of the aliases)
timeshift -I mysql_error -m 5 -s -9 mysql_error.log

# don't shift time, just convert to another format
timeshift -I mysql_error -o "%m/%d/%y %H:%M:%S" mysql_error.log

# convert the format and also subtract 5h
timeshift -I mysql_error -o "%m/%d/%y %H:%M:%S" -h -5 mysql_error.log

Windows compliation

• Even though this is a Go project, it uses the strtime package which relies on some C code.
• GCC will be needed in order to compile the strtime package.
• GCC for Windows can be downloaded from here: tdm-gcc
• I used tdm64-gcc-5.1.0-2.exe during development.
• goreleaser release -f .goreleaser-windows.yml --skip-publish and then manually upload to releases
