Installation and configuration

Install

It’s available in Melpa. Look here for instruction. One can also install it using straight and use-package

(use-package soccer
  :straight (soccer :type git :host github :repo "md-arif-shaikh/soccer"))

Set local time

To get the time and match day converted to your local time configure the following

(setq soccer-time-local-time-utc-offset "+0530")

Keybindings

Additionally you may want to make some keybindings to call the interactive functions conveniently. For example, using use-package this can be done like below,

(use-package soccer
  :straight t
  :config
  (setq soccer-time-local-time-utc-offset "+0530")
  :bind (("C-c s f" . soccer-fixtures-next)
	     ("C-c s r" . soccer-results-last)
	     ("C-c s t" . soccer-table)))

This will fetch and install the package from Melpa, set your local utc-offset and set the above keybindings.

Full working configuration

(use-package soccer
  :straight (soccer :type git :host github :repo "md-arif-shaikh/soccer")
