motd

💬 My script for displaying information in my terminals

Installation

This is just a script, not a full tool. To use this, just grab the motd.py file, and run it on any computer with python3.7 installed. To start MOTD with your shell, add python3 /path/to/motd.py to your shell's RC file (I use ~/.zshrc).

Modify the flags

To use your own GitHub account, or override other settings, refer to the flags listed in the program help:

usage: motd.py [-h] [-g GITHUB_USERNAME] [-o GITHUB_ORG]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -g GITHUB_USERNAME, --github-username (default Ewpratten)
  -o GITHUB_ORG,      --github-org      (default frc5024)

Features

This MOTD script will give a small printout when run. This includes:

• Current time
• Current date
• Number of GitHub issues

In the future, a simple weather readout may be added.

Example

Here is an example from my laptop:
