glx timeline

Show chronological timeline of events for a person

Synopsis

Display a chronological timeline of all events in a person's life.

Shows direct events (where the person is a participant) and family events (spouse births/deaths, children's births/deaths, parent deaths) discovered through relationship traversal.

The person argument can be an exact entity ID (e.g., person-john-smith) or a name to search for (e.g., "John Smith"). If the name matches multiple persons, all matches are listed for disambiguation.

Use --no-family to exclude family events and show only direct events.
