Fortunes

This repo contains a collection of files with quotes we like.

These files can be turned into fortune database files.

Inspired by Hamlet D'Arcy and Dale Manthei to create this repository.

I know this is a tiny repository but people use it (high 5 to all of us) - if you happen to use this projectm, please click the star button (at the top of the page) - it means a lot to all the contributors.

What is Fortune?

Fortune is a simple Unix program that displays a random message from a database of quotations.

$ fortune

"What we see is mainly what we look for."
  ~Unknown

Installing Fortune

fortune package. If your computer has already installed it, skip this step.

# Mac
$ brew install fortune
# Debian/Ubuntu
$ sudo apt-get install fortune

Usage

Clone the repo.

$ git clone git@github.com:knightrider/fortunes.git

Then build the data files.

$ make
$ fortune [OPTIONS] [/path/to/fortunes/src]

How to automatically launch fortune when opening a shell window

Depending on which shell you use, at the end of your ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc file, copy the following lines into it.

fortune [OPTIONS] [/path/to/fortunes/src/]

So, that's a little boring. Snaz it up a little bit by adding CowSay.

# Mac
$ brew install cowsay
# Debian/Ubuntu
$ sudo apt-get install cowsay
# Node version of cowsay
$ npm install -g cowsay
fortune [OPTIONS] [/path/to/fortunes/src/] | cowsay

# Now you get
