isms

A small fortune file of team “isms” plus a quick install script that shows one at shell startup.

Quick deploy

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DogsbodyOps/isms/refs/heads/main/isms_deploy.sh | bash

The installer:

• creates ~/.isms
• downloads the latest isms fortune file
• runs strfile to build the index
• appends a guarded block to ~/.bashrc that refreshes daily and prints:

fortune "$HOME/.isms/isms" | cowsay

Requirements

• fortune
• strfile (usually included with fortune packages)
• cowsay
• curl
• bash

Updating the fortune file manually

When editing /home/runner/work/isms/isms/isms:

1. Keep % as the separator between entries.

2. Keep a trailing % at the end of the file.

3. Rebuild the index file:

   strfile -c % isms isms.dat

Local usage (without deploy script)

fortune /home/runner/work/isms/isms/isms | cowsay
