time_since is a collection of Liquid filters that return the elapsed time since a date or date and time.
The filters are years_since, months_since, days_since, hours_since, minutes_since and seconds_since.
Installation
Add the following highlighted line to your Jekyll project's Gemfile,
within the jekyll_plugins group:
group :jekyll_plugins do gem 'jekyll_time_since' end
And then execute:
$ bundle
Usage Examples
These tags all work in a similar manner;
they accept one parameter, which is either a date string (YYYY-MM-dd) or
an ISO 8601-1:2019 datetime string (YYYY-MM-ddThh:mm).
Just a year can be specified, which implies Jan 1 at midnight.
The date and time strings can be surrounded with quotes or double quotes.
Time zone can be omitted, or specified as GMT, Z, or +/- HHMM/code>.
