WelcomeTerminal

WelcomeTerminal is a simple tool to make your terminal more appealing and welcoming by displaying a welcome message alongside a ASCII-Art randomly choosen from a list of your choice

Installation

• $ git clone https://github.com/KoraKu/WelcomeTerminal into your home directory
• $ mv ./WelcomeTerminal ./.WelcomeTerminal to make it hidden (won't work if name does not start with a dot)
• $ cd ./.WelcomeTerminal
• $ make install

Adding Art

In .WelcomeTerminal/arts

• Create a new file art_x where x is the number of the art, first one is 0 (linux penguin by default), make sure to increment it correctly without gaps
• Paste your ascii in art_x
• Create a new file art_x_name (where x is the same number as in previous step)
• Write the name of your art (be aware that the program will display using this format Here's a <nameOfArt> to make you happy) in art_x_name
• On a new line in art_x_name, write the number corresponding to the color you want your art to be

A list of color usable by the linux terminal

Number	Color
0	Restet / Default
30	Black
31	Red
32	Green
33	Yellow
34	Blue
35	Magenta
36	Cyan
37	White

• Lastly increment the character (next one in ascii table) in arts/count to take changes into account
