Bash script to print an ASCII art character with a greeting.

Requirements to run on Mac

brew install coreutils

Usage

./bash_fn includes a function greeting that will print the greeting.

./greet sources ./bash_fn and immediately calls greeting so you have a choice;

• Import the script ./bash_fn in your ~/.bash_profile and then call greeting

OR

• Just import the script ./greet in your ~/.bash_profile

Either way opening a new terminal will run the function greeting to print output like below. It will then be available to be run whenever you want in that shell.

~/.bash_profile

...

source ~/bash-char-greeting/bash_fn
greeting
