Terminal Cowsay Script

Welcome to the Terminal Cowsay Script repository! This simple script adds a touch of fun to your terminal experience by displaying a whimsical greeting in the form of a speech bubble from a .cow file every time you open the terminal.

Features

  • Displays an entertaining cowsay greeting upon each terminal opening.

Usage

  1. Clone the repository:

    git clone https://github.com/IlYAN-FISHERMAN/Cowsay_scrypt.git

  2. Move the .cowsay folder to the same location as your .zshrc file.

  3. Do cowsay -l | grep "Cow files in *" end cp all your .cow file in the path you get with the command.

  4. Add the following script to your .zshrc file:

#!/bin/bash

COWPATH="$COWPATH:$HOME/.cowsay/cowfiles/"

# Cow-spoken fortunes every time you open a terminal
function cowsayfortune
{
    NUMOFCOWS=`cowsay -l | tail -n +2 | wc -w`
    WHICHCOW=$((RANDOM%$NUMOFCOWS+1))
    THISCOW=`cowsay -l | tail -n +2 | sed -e 's/\ /\'$'\n/g' | sed $WHICHCOW'q;d'`

    #echo "Selected cow: ${THISCOW}, from ${WHICHCOW}"
    fortune | cowsay -f $THISCOW -W 100
}

cowsayfortune
