## 🚀 Usage
To print a random tip, run:
```bash
cli-tips
# Output:
# Use 'uniq' to remove duplicate lines from a file
```
> [!NOTE]
>
> `cli-tips` automatically detects the user's language and displays tips in that language. You can also set the language manually using the `LANG` environment variable.
### Use Another Language
To display tips in a different language, use the `--lang` option:
```bash
cli-tips --lang=uk
# Output: Використовуйте 'uniq', щоб видалити дубльовані рядки з файлу
```
You can also use the `LANG` environment variable:
```bash
LANG=de cli-tips
# Output: Verwenden Sie 'uniq', um doppelte Zeilen aus einer Datei zu entfernen
```
### Use the `--about` Flag
To display a random tip containing a specific keyword, use the `--about` option:
```bash
cli-tips --about=git
# Output: Use 'git status' to check the status of your git repository
```
If no tips contain the specified keyword, no tip will be output.
