mediations-cli

Displays a random passage from Marcus Aurelius' Meditations every time you open a new terminal session. Works with iTerm2 and Terminal.app on macOS.

Requirements

• macOS
• Node.js (any modern version)

Installation

1. Clone the repo

git clone git@github.com:tbullardcollibra/mediations-cli.git ~/Workspace/mediations-cli

2. Add to your shell profile

echo '' >> ~/.zshrc
echo '# Marcus Aurelius Meditations — new terminal greeting' >> ~/.zshrc
