Alright, so I wanted to mess around with this little command-line tool called “lineman” today. I’d heard it could do some cool stuff with quotes, and I was in the mood for some tinkering. Here’s how it went down.
First things first, I had to get this thing installed. I already had * and npm set up on my machine because, you know, I dabble with web stuff. So, getting lineman was as simple as firing up my terminal and typing:
npm install -g lineman
The -g part means it’s installed globally, so I can use it from anywhere in my terminal.
Once that was done, I was itching to try it out. The most basic thing, I figured, was to just see if it worked. So, I typed:
lineman
Boom! It spit out a random quote. Pretty neat, huh? Each time I run it, it will show a different quote.
But I was like, “Okay, that’s cool, but can I do more?” Of course, I could! I wanted to see if I can get multiline quotes. So after some searching, I find out that if I type:
lineman --multiline
Then I got a multiline quote. Interesting!
So, yeah, that’s my little adventure with “lineman quotes” today. Nothing groundbreaking, but it was a fun little distraction, and I learned something new. Might come in handy if I ever need to spice up a presentation or something. Who knows!
