Running with custom numbers

Usage:

cargo run --release -- [OPTIONS]

Options:

-n, --nums <NUMS>            Given numbers (prioritized over date generated numbers)
-g, --goal <GOAL>            Goal number (prioritized over date generated numbers)
-f, --full-date <FULL_DATE>  Full date to use for generating numbers
-d, --day <DAY>              Day of month to use for generating numbers
-m, --month <MONTH>          Month of year to use for generating numbers
-y, --year <YEAR>            Year to use for generating numbers
-h, --help                   Print help
-V, --version                Print version

Examples:

You can input the goal number and the numbers to use...

cargo run --release -- --goal 1 --numbers "1 2 3 4 5"
cargo run --release -- -g 1 -n "1 2 3 4 5"

...or you can input the date in the format YYYY-MM-DD to calculate them.

cargo run --release -- --date 2021-10-01
cargo run --release -- -d 2021-10-01

...or you can specify month, day, and year, and let today's date fill in the rest.

# specify month, day, and year
cargo run --release -- --month 10 --day 1 --year 2021
cargo run --release -- -m 10 -d 1 -y 2021
# specify only day
cargo run --release -- --day 1
cargo run --release -- -d 1
