Generates random quotes from the fortune\n  database.\n- [`gocowsay`](./cmd/gocowsay) - Displays messages inside a speech balloon with\n  ASCII figures.\n- [`gololcat`](./cmd/gololcat) - Applies a colorful rainbow effect to text\n  output.\n\n## Installation\n\n```sh\ngo install github.com/ashish0kumar/pipe-trio/cmd/...@latest\n```\n\nor build from source:\n\n```sh\ngit clone https://github.com/ashish0kumar/pipe-trio.git\ncd pipe-trio\nmake build\n```\n\nAfter installation, you can add the `bin/` directory to your `PATH` for easier\naccess to the commands:\n\n```sh\nexport PATH=$PWD/bin:$PATH\n```\n\n## Usage\n\nUse individual commands:\n\n```sh\ngofortune\necho \"Hello, world!\" | gocowsay\necho \"This text will be colorful!\" | gololcat\n```\n\nor combine them all like god intended:\n\n```sh\ngofortune | gocowsay | gololcat\n```\n\n## Why this project\n\nIt started as a fun weekend project because, well, why not? I love these UNIX\nutilities and wanted to learn how they worked by building them. Plus, it was a\ngreat way to dive into Go and explore system-level programming while keeping it\nenjoyable.\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\n\t\u003cimg src=\"https://raw.githubusercontent.com/catppuccin/catppuccin/main/assets/footers/gray0_ctp_on_line.svg?sanitize=true\" /\u003e\n\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp align=\"center\"\u003e\n        \u003ci\u003e\u003ccode\u003e\u0026copy 2025-present \u003ca href=\"https://github.com/ashish0kumar\"\u003eAshish Kumar\u003c/a\u003e\u003c/code\u003e\u003c/i\u003e\n\u003c/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv align=\"center\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https://github.com/ashish0kumar/pipe-trio/blob/main/LICENSE\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https://img.shields.io/github/license/ashish0kumar/pipe-trio?style=for-the-badge\u0026color=CBA6F7\u0026logoColor=cdd6f4\u0026labelColor=302D41\" alt=\"LICENSE\"\u003e\u003c/a\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\n\u003c/div\u003e\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fashish0kumar%2Fpipe-trio","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fashish0kumar%2Fpipe-trio","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fashish0kumar%2Fpipe-trio/lists"}
