How can I output the date of the last “day”?
I want to print the day of the last Monday for example
using the date

Provided I do not know what day/ date is today but I can use date to find out the date and then use it to find out what date the first previous monday was.
bash date terminal

If you are using gnu date, you can try the following command:
date -d "last monday"
I get it, but "Are you kidding?" may not be the best way to start an explanation...
