Whenever I make an update to the changelog of a Debian package, I have to update the signature with the correct date (well, it's not mandatory, but it's really nice to have).
The signature looks like this:
-- Alexis Wilke <[email protected]> Tue, 26 May 2020 18:00:09 -0800
I'd like to have a command in [g]vim that would replace a signature with my signature and the correct date and time. It's annoying to have to update the date by hand each time, and it is prone to mistakes (i.e. Mom
, 18000:09
, Jum
, etc.) and when Launchpad detects an error it just stops right there.
So having a way to auto-update these signatures would be marvelous.
Do you have such a function or do you know how to write one? In the end, I ideally just have to hit one key and it happens: replacement of the entire line with my signature and the current date in the exact same format.
