So that you can be baller af when you are showing off stuff via command line

WHY

Q: Why not just run the figlet command and pipe results to lolcat?

A: Because you'd be stuck with 1 default font for your figlet, which gets in the way of showboating. Manually figuring out the commands to change the font involve searching for your figlet's font directory, and manually picking a font from a huge list--but not before first pruning that list from incompatible figlet font files. Having to think means increased friction, which leads to less usage. Low friction = higher usage.

PRE-REQUISITES

  1. figlet (brew install figlet on OS X, or aptitude install figlet on Ubuntu)
  2. lolcat (brew install lolcat on OS X, or aptitude install lolcat on Ubuntu)

INSTALLATION

  1. Put this script somewhere in your executable path, preferably where all the 3rd party user libs are e.g. /usr/local/bin
  2. chmod u+x
  3. baller af away

USAGE

zsh> baller hello world

NOTE: Shell will always try to interpret your input first, so for instance, if you have an apostrophe, you'll need to escape by adding double quotes around your input

e.g.

zsh> baller "Hello world, I've arrived"
