cal: Use Monday as the first day of the week.
$ cal --monday
try on your machine

The command "cal --monday" is used to display the calendar for the current month in the terminal, with Monday as the first day of the week.

By default, when you use the "cal" command without any options, it shows the calendar starting from Sunday. However, using the "--monday" option changes the starting day of the week to Monday.

For example, if you run the command "cal --monday" in the terminal, it will display the calendar for the current month with Monday as the first day of the week, followed by Tuesday, Wednesday, and so on.
