Commandline calendar tool.
Supports CalDav. Loads calendars from vdir folders (inspired by mbox/maildir).
Khal depends on an external vcal server, and vdirsyncer. For a full setup see baikal for a VCal/VCard server, and vdirsyncer for instructions on setting up a vdir directory.

Usage
NOTE:
I wrote a wrapper function
cal
that uses cal-like date selection.ikhal # interactive calendarkhal # see calendar at now khal calendar at 2021-12-01T10:00pm # see calendar at datetime (in configured 'datetimeformat') khal calendar 2021-12-01T10:00pm khal agenda -a my_calendar # prints events for that day khal calendar -a my_calendar # prints all calendars khal search party # search all events for work 'party' khal printcalendars # list available calendars khal import -a my_calendar file.ics # import event
Config
Khal's config is fairly simple, simply choose a vdir for a calendar, and choose the colour it should be displayed in.
# ~/.config/khal.conf [calendars] [[default]] path = ~/.calendars/default/ color = dark green [[work]] path = ~/.calendars/work/ color = #FFFFFF
