Start each new terminal session with a thought-provoking reminder of the time you have to make the most of your life!
The Terminal Sunday
"Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life." - Steve Jobs
The idea is to provide a graphical and thought-provoking view of one's life span, promoting a reflection on how we spend our time.
Ruby version
Made initially with Bash, I wrote another version with Ruby language because I love Ruby and to show Ruby is not dead! :)
Installation
The script should work on macOS and Linux (The bash script may also work with MINGW). To use this script, follow the steps below:
- Download script or clone repository and make sure the script is executable:
curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/accessd/terminal-sunday/main/terminal_sunday.sh -o "$HOME/terminal_sunday.sh"
chmod +x "$HOME/terminal_sunday.sh"
- Add the script run to the end of .bashrc/.zshrc/etc.
$HOME/terminal_sunday.sh 1985-06-08 Joe
Fish:
bash $HOME/terminal_sunday.sh 1985-06-08 Joe
Provide your birthdate and name to the script.
You can run it randomly with:
(( RANDOM%2 == 0 )) && $HOME/terminal_sunday.sh 1985-06-08 Joe
Or add sleep && clear after the command
$HOME/terminal_sunday.sh 1985-06-08 Joe;sleep 1;clear
to clear the screen after one second.
You can specify the number of columns by:
$HOME/terminal_sunday.sh 1985-06-08 Joe 10
the main thing is that 80 is divisible without a remainder by this number of columns :)
