I always got a kick out of lolcat's "versioning": https://github.com/busyloop/lolcat/tags

More bonus points if also uses lolcat.

This script uses the toilet and lolcat utils to generate messages that will grab your user’s attentionand the who util to find the tty and pts devices of logged-in users so it can send them said messages.

If you install lolcat first, you can also get some lsd into your terminal with

you can also pipe cmatrix to lolcat for rainbowz!!

Ah. Those colors are actually from being piped into “lolcat” https://github.com/busyloop/lolcat

Straight Python port of the Ruby version at https://github.com/busyloop/lolcat/ but with 100% more fun, because, hey, it’s not Ruby. There are no external dependencies..

lolcat : "Rainbows and unicorns!"

Oh! You should also check out dotdrop too! 😂

I use dotdrop

I am currently using AstroNvim config and I like it. I use dotdrop for backing up my dotfiles. I would like to backup my AstroNvim config to my dotfiles. Here is the current directory structure of my ~/.config/nvim:

dotdrop – Save your dotfiles once, deploy them everywhere

There are so many solutions to this problem. dotdrop works really well. GNU Stow is a thing too. I use dotdrop because it supports the concept of profiles for different machines, and you can use Jinja2 template logic in your configs.

I use Dotdrop, it fits for me, but there are a lot of different options. At Chezmoi site there is a good comparison table.

Nice! For dotfiles and stuff, I use a helpful program called dotdrop, which allows you to create configs for different machines and all your dotfiles will just be magically symlinked to where you want them.

I like dotdrop. Mainly because I have multiple machines and dotdrop can do templating, so I can more granularly control what goes into each of my machines.
