# The Terminal Sunday
> "Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life." - Steve Jobs
The idea is to provide a graphical and thought-provoking view of one's life span, promoting a reflection on how we spend our time.
## Ruby version
Made initially with Bash, I wrote another version with Ruby language because I love Ruby and to show [Ruby is not dead](https://isrubydead.com/)! :)
## Installation
The script should work on macOS and Linux (The bash script may also work with MINGW).
To use this script, follow the steps below:
1. Download script or clone repository and make sure the script is executable:
```bash
curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/accessd/terminal-sunday/main/terminal_sunday.sh -o "$HOME/terminal_sunday.sh"
chmod +x "$HOME/terminal_sunday.sh"
```
2. Add the script run to the end of .bashrc/.zshrc/etc.
```bash
$HOME/terminal_sunday.sh 1985-06-08 Joe
```
Fish:
```fish
bash $HOME/terminal_sunday.sh 1985-06-08 Joe
```
Provide your birthdate and name to the script.
You can run it randomly with:
```bash
(( RANDOM%2 == 0 )) && $HOME/terminal_sunday.sh 1985-06-08 Joe
```
Or add sleep && clear after the command
```bash
$HOME/terminal_sunday.sh 1985-06-08 Joe;sleep 1;clear
```
to clear the screen after one second.
You can specify the number of columns by:
```bash
$HOME/terminal_sunday.sh 1985-06-08 Joe 10
```
the main thing is that 80 is divisible without a remainder by this number of columns :)
