gnomon: Show an absolute timestamp in UTC.

${npm

$ ${npm test} | gnomon --type=absolute

try on your machine

This command is composed of two parts, separated by the pipe symbol |.

The first part ${npm test} is using the npm package manager to run the test script defined in the scripts section of the package.json file. This typically executes a test suite or a set of tests for a project.

The second part gnomon --type=absolute is a command that uses the gnomon tool to enhance the output of the previous command. Gnomon is a utility that allows you to add timestamps and colorized diff output to the standard output stream.

By combining these two commands using the pipe symbol, the output of the npm test command will be passed as input to the gnomon --type=absolute command. This means that the test execution output will be displayed with timestamps added by gnomon and potentially with color highlighting for easier reading and analysis. The --type=absolute argument specifies that the timestamps should be shown as absolute time values.
