DevExcuse Generator

A simple bash script to output excuses using the DevExcus.es API Database.

Prerequisites

Make sure the following dependencies are installed on your system:

curl
jq

Installation

Run the command below:

sh -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/K4R7IK/DevExcuse/master/install.sh)"

Make sure you have your ~/.local/bin in your PATH

Usage

Run the script:

devexcuse

The script will fetch a development excuse from the DevExcus.es API and store it locally in a JSON file (~/.config/devExcuse.json). If an excuse with the same ID already exists in the file, the excuse will not be saved. Also when there is no internet connection the script will fetch a random excuse from local storage.

Now the DB comes with the script. The excuses are fetch locally now.

Configuration

DATA_FILE: The path to the JSON file for storing excuses.
If you want to have excuse in French or Italian instead of English you can modify text_en to text_fr for french and text_it for italian in the script.

You can configure your desired location where you want to store your excuse.json file.

Acknowledgments
