Show some quotes when open your terminal

  $ nano ~/.bashrc

  terminal-quotes
  or
  node <path/to/terminal-quotes/cli.js>

Use with custom quotes

Just update in the package.json the config property like this:

...
"config": {
  "source": "http://url.com/myAwesomeQuotes/array.json",
  "quoteTextProp": "quote",
  "authorTextProp": "author"
},
...

where array.json looks like

[
  {
    "quote": "Life is awesome!",
    "author": "unknow",
    "source": "https://twitter.com/juliomatcom"
  },
  ...
]

terminal-quotes will fetch the .json of quotes and for every quotes print quoteTextProp value as the quote itself and authorTextProp value as the author.

Note: terminal-quotes not support redirection, make sure the source URL returns a response 2xx and not a redirect.
