A horizontal ruler for your terminal
Tired of not finding things in your terminal because there's a lot of logs and garbage? Tired of destroying the Enter key by creating a "void zone" in your terminal so that you can see the error that you're trying to debug?
$ curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LuRsT/hr/master/hr > ~/bin/hr
(Examine ~/bin/hr)
$ chmod +x ~/bin/hr
Note: You should have ~/bin in your $PATH for this to work.
$ git clone [email protected]:LuRsT/hr.git
$ cd hr
Open Makefile and edit the PREFIX variable, specifying the directory
where you'd want the software to reside. Then:
$ sudo make install
OSX users can install using Homebrew:
$ brew install hr
$ hr
################################## # Till the end of your terminal window
$
$ hr '*'
********************************** # Till the end of your terminal window
$
You can also make "beautiful" ASCII patterns
$ hr - '#' -
----------------------------------
##################################
----------------------------------
$ hr '-#-' '-' '-#-'
