 Changelog
 =========
 
+* Add ``shift()`` method to the ``time_machine`` pytest fixture.
+
+  Thanks to Stefaan Lippens in `PR 312 <https://github.com/adamchainz/time-machine/pull/312>`__.
+
 * Mock ``time.monotonic()`` and ``time.monotonic_ns()``.
   They return the values of ``time.time()`` and ``time.time_ns()`` respectively, rather than real monotonic clocks.

 time-machine also works as a pytest plugin.
-It provides a function-scoped fixture called ``time_machine`` that has one method, ``move_to()``, which has the same signature as ``Coordinates.move_to()``.
+It provides a function-scoped fixture called ``time_machine`` with methods ``move_to()`` and ``shift()``, which have the same signature as their equivalents in ``Coordinates``.
 This can be used to mock your test at different points in time and will automatically be un-mock when the test is torn down.
