Motivation

• I'd like to understand some quotes I like from reading. And through increasing the frequency of their appearance via fortune in terminal environment can remind me to apply the ideas I learn from them.

Quick Start

Prerequisites

• Python 3
• fortune (optional, for terminal integration)

  brew install fortune  # macOS

Using Makefile

The repository includes a Makefile for common tasks:

# Validate JSON files, format code, and install fortune data
make all

# Validate all quote JSON files
make check-json

# Format and lint Python code with ruff
make style

# Install quotes into fortune data directory
make fortune

# Clean output directory
make clean

# Clean all generated files (output + fortune)
make mrproper

Fortune

Manual Installation

If you prefer manual installation:

python3 generate.py --fortune
./scripts/install_fortune.sh

Roadmap

• ✅ fortune strings format
