This project generates an ICS calendar file containing events for one full Gregorian year. Each event contains:
- A title with the date and object of the day. Example:
12 Thermidor 228 : Salicorne - A description which adds the day of the week and the type of object. Example:
Duodi, 12 Thermidor 228 La plante du jour : Salicorne
Build the project with ./gradlew build

The generated calendar file contains hundreds of events (365 or 366 depending on the year). Take care when importing the calendar file into your calendar software. It is recommended to import it into a new calendar, and not an existing one. This way, if you're not satisfied with the result, or decide you don't want to use it after a while, it will be much easier to delete the entire new calendar than to delete hundreds of events one by one from your existing calendar.
