# welcome.sh ### A nice welcome script for Bash and Zsh This is a nice little script for your `.bashrc` or `.zshrc` that greets you on every launch, with some helpful (and customizable!) information. My goal with this script is to keep it simple, just a single line that gives useful information when you start a terminal session. #### Features: - Relatively fast - Works across many distros (update checking support) - Clean and simple
### Installing: #### Via Curl Bash: ``` bash -c "$(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/G2-Games/welcome.sh/main/install.sh)" ``` Zsh: ``` zsh -c "$(curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/G2-Games/welcome.sh/main/install.sh)" ``` #### Or wget Bash: ``` bash -c "$(wget -q https://raw.githubusercontent.com/G2-Games/welcome.sh/main/install.sh -O -)" ``` Zsh: ``` zsh -c "$(wget -q https://raw.githubusercontent.com/G2-Games/welcome.sh/main/install.sh -O -)" ``` It installs to `~/.welcome/welcome.sh`, and adds a line to the bottom of `~/.bashrc` or `~/.zshrc` Run again to uninstall. Uninstalling will remove it from both Bash and Zsh. #### Manual Installation To use it, download `welcome.sh` and place it in your home directory. Then add `/home/$USER/welcome.sh` to your `.bashrc`. ### Updating: WIP Currently you can update by uninstalling and reinstalling, but this wipes all settings. I am working on making a better way to do this.
### Configs: To configure settings, open `welcome.sh` in your text editor of choice and go to the bottom. There, you'll find a few settings: ```bash #=========SETUP========# # Select which parts you want active by # # commenting them out. For example, on a # # desktop, disabling the battery message # # is a good idea. You can also re-order # # them to change how they display! # randgreeting="off" #< Turn the random greetings on (eg. "Hello , Hi ") twelvehour="on" #< Switch between 12 and 24 hour time (eg. 8:00pm vs 20:00) rechargenotif="off" #< Notify that you should recharge if below 15% flatpakupd="off" #< Check for flatpak updates, this slows startup down A LOT welcome greeting clock battery updates #< This makes startup slower echo # Properly line break at the end ``` Here, you can re-arrange the modules, and turn off and on flatpak and recharge notifications. I recommend leaving flatpak off as it makes startup incredibly slow. I'm planning on making this config section a separate file later to make changing settings easier and updating easier.
### TODO: - [x] Add easier way to install and update - [ ] Fix issues across other distros - [ ] Add new features?
