I'm wanting to make the 'date' command be 12hr instead of 24hr - is there a way I could do it? I think %I is the correct 12hr instead of %H - but I don't know where to set it.

Thanks

This is described in man date:
Code: SYNOPSIS
       date [OPTION]... [+FORMAT]

So you would type date, then a + followed by an appropriate format string. As an example:
Code: % date +%I
08
