Question 1

How do I install overtime-cli on Windows?

Accepted Answer

Install it globally via npm by running `npm install -g overtime-cli` in Command Prompt or PowerShell, assuming Node.js is installed. Then, use the overtime command to generate tables.

Question 2

Does OverTime support daylight saving time adjustments?

Accepted Answer

Yes, because it uses IANA time zone names like America/Toronto, which include DST rules. The output automatically reflects current DST offsets based on your system time.

Question 3

OverTime or Every Time Zone: which is better for quick checks?

Accepted Answer

OverTime is better for CLI-based, customizable tables with aliases, while Every Time Zone offers a web interface with interactive maps but less control over labels and output.

Question 4

How to alias a time zone in OverTime?

Accepted Answer

Use the @ symbol followed by a custom label when listing time zones, e.g., `overtime show America/New_York@NYC Asia/Kolkata@India`. This replaces the header in the output table.

Question 5

Can I use OverTime to plan meetings for next week?

Accepted Answer

No, OverTime only shows overlaps for the current time. For future dates, you'd need to manually adjust time zones or use other tools with date-specific features.

Question 6

Is there a Docker image for OverTime?

Accepted Answer

No official Docker image is provided, but you can create a container with Node.js and install it via npm, though this adds complexity compared to the simple global install.

Question 7

How to save the output table to a file?

Accepted Answer

OverTime doesn't have built-in save options, but you can redirect CLI output using terminal commands, e.g., `overtime show utc-5 utc+1 > overlap.txt` to capture it in a text file.
