How to print dd-mmm-yyyy in bash (e.g 02-Jun-2019)
today=$(date +%d-%m-%Y -d "yesterday")
which doesn't give the desired result
I expected to get 02-Jun-2019 but output is 02-06-2019

The list of all the format codes is in `man strftime`. – Barmar Jun 03 '19 at 19:31

1Have a look at `man date`. All you want to know can be found in there. – kvantour Jun 03 '19 at 20:02

You can do something like:
date -d "yesterday" '+%d-%b-%Y'
Gives you yesterday's date in the format you desire:
02-Jun-2019
If you want it to be May, then you can do:
date -d "yesterday -1 month" '+%d-%b-%Y'
Gives you:
02-May-2019
