|   and that don't rely on other  |

You can also add the command to your shell's *rc file (.bashrc, .zshrc, etc. or whatever file the shell loads on startup) so it outputs a quote every time you open a new shell.

Updates

This Repo will be frequently updated with new quotes. Simply run npm i -g qotm to get the latest updates. Expect an update notifier to be added in future updates so as to prompt you when new updates are ready.

Contributing

There are thousands of tech and programming quotes out there. You have your favorites right? Add them to the contributing.json file using the specified format and submit a pull request to the qotm-cli branch. I'll be happy to pull them in and make them available in subsequent updates. You can also help in any other way you can, be it code refactoring, typo fixes, etc.
NB: I may need to verify the quote and it's author. Please do check as well before adding quotes.
