## Project history and usage

gotz is a Go-based terminal tool for displaying timezone information and comparing times across configured locations.

### Project history

The README describes gotz as a simple CLI timezone information tool created to make timezone calculation easier for international teamwork. It supports current and arbitrary time display, live mode, configurable timezones, 12-hour format, sorting, and terminal styling.

### Adoption history

gotz is distributed through `go install`, release binaries, and Homebrew. Homebrew packages version 0.1.15 in homebrew/core and also exposes a HEAD build, while the README still documents the upstream tap command as an installation path.

### How it is used

Users run `gotz` to show current times, pass a time such as `15` or `15@Asia/Tokyo` to compare arbitrary times, and configure defaults with flags such as `--timezones`, `--hours12`, and `--live`. Persistent configuration is stored under `$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/gotz/config.json`, usually `~/.config/gotz/config.json`.

### Why package nerds care

gotz is representative of small Go terminal utilities that package cleanly as a single executable and use XDG-style configuration for repeatable command-line workflows.

### Timeline

- 0.1.15: Homebrew packages gotz as the current stable release.
- README era: Go install, release binaries, and Homebrew installation paths are documented upstream.

### Related projects

- gotz is related to timezone database identifiers, terminal dashboards, and other CLI time conversion tools.
