Collection of Linux fortunes ❤
fortune | cowsay
This is about how I maintain the space https://github.com/OrkoHunter/mfdf/blob/master/fortunesfortune is a Unix program which chooses a random message from its database of quotations and displays in the Shell. There are mainly three types of the quotations; literature, fortunes and riddles. I once tried adding fortune in my ~/.zshrc file so that a new fortune would appear whenever I create a new terminal session. There are many other places for making it appear e.g. Login, Logout, XScreenSaver, etc. However, I later went for
fortune | cowsay -f tuxcowsay is another program which takes a string and displays in a balloon over acat figure. Note that both of them have to be installed (using apt-get).
Things to add in your .bashrc, .zshrc, etc.
I’ll now be adding shell commands to generate the messages with random cowsay characters. Courtesy.
