Terminal Customizing

Because customizing your terminal for your computer is FUN! Here is a list of things that is on my tentative list of things I'd like to play around with:

  • Wikit is a cool way to have a summary come up straight through the terminal from wikipedia
    • Getting wikit set up on the terminal
    • this led to the installation of fink as it's only available via Linux commands
  • watch Star Wars in terminal : ```Telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl -
  • cmatrix & asciiquarium after brew install
    • toilet --> turn any text into ascii art
  • check health of SSD on your laptop to make it last longer through smartmontools
  • Get cool terminal customizations with oh my posh
