How to print the next week using the date command ?
date +"This is week: %U of %Y, Sprint: %y(W%U-%U)" The output should be
This is week: 04 of 2017, Sprint: 17(W04-05) Instead of
This is week: 04 of 2017, Sprint: 17(W04-04)

With GNU date:
date +"This is week: %U of %Y, Sprint: %y(W%U-$(date -d 'now + 7 days' +%U))" alternatively:
date +"This is week: %U of %Y, Sprint: %y(W%U-$(date -d 'next week 12:00' +%U))" - 1Would be better as
date -d 'next week 12:00'in timezones that have DST. For instance, in mainland UK,faketime '2017-03-19 23:30' date +%W-%F-%Routputs11-2017-03-19-23:30andfaketime '2017-03-19 23:30' date -d 'next week' +%W-%F-%Routputs13-2017-03-27-00:30Stéphane Chazelas– Stéphane Chazelas2017-01-23 21:28:39 +00:00Commented Jan 23, 2017 at 21:28 - I'm all for improvement! so amended2017-01-23 21:32:58 +00:00Commented Jan 23, 2017 at 21:32
- I wonder how much time DST saves. I don't know if it is big or small, but I do know the sign (-).ctrl-alt-delor– ctrl-alt-delor2017-01-23 22:23:13 +00:00Commented Jan 23, 2017 at 22:23
