Git-Fortunes

git + fortune = ???

Finds a fitting fortune to your git state. At least it is supposed to. Combining the power of regex and counting the program determines a piece of text in which most of the words of another text appear, by default matching against the commit message of the checked out git commit.

Usage

usage: git-fortunes.py [-h] [--debug] [--stdin] [--words] [--word-lengths]
                       [--no-word-lengths]
                       [files [files ...]]

Find a fortune cookie matching some text

positional arguments:
  files              Fortune files in the freebsd format, with separating '%'
                     lines

optional arguments:
  -h, --help         show this help message and exit
  --debug            Enable performance and partial result debugging
  --stdin            Read match text from stdin instead of analyzing the git
                     HEAD
  --words            Best matching fortune is selected based on word counts
  --word-lengths     Matches of longer words are more influential
