fish-insulter

The Fish-Insulter is a fun utility that randomly teases or jests at the user when an incorrect command is typed. It is inspired from the bash-insulter project to add a playful twist to Fish Shell!

Customization

The Fish-Insulter allows for easy customization using environment variables, offering control over the insults' content, frequency, and appearance. These variables can be set in your config.fish file or created in a file within the conf.d directory of your Fish configuration folder.

Available Environment Variables:

CMD_NOT_FOUND_MSGS: Custom messages to replace the default insult list.
CMD_NOT_FOUND_MSGS_APPEND: Additional messages to complement the existing insult list.
COMMENT_FREQ: Sets the frequency of insults. A value of 0 means never, 5 implies about half the time, and 10 triggers an insult every time. (Default: 4)
COMMENT_COLOR: Specifies the text color printed with a number from 1 to 255. Using 0 results in a random color for added enjoyment. (Default: 0)

Configuration Steps:

For config.fish:

Open your config.fish file using a text editor and add or modify the desired environment variables in the following format:

set -gx CMD_NOT_FOUND_MSGS "Your custom insult messages here"
set -gx CMD_NOT_FOUND_MSGS_APPEND "Additional insults to append"
set -gx COMMENT_FREQ 5
set -gx COMMENT_COLOR 123

For conf.d Directory:

Create a new file (e.g., insulter-customization.fish) within your Fish configuration's conf.d directory. Inside this file, define the environment variables in the same format as above.

Ensure to replace the values with your preferred messages, frequencies, or colors as desired.
