Roadmap

Here are features that are planned for the future:

• System message slot for displaying a message following a script or such (not randomized) [0.3.3]
• Add CLI commands to customize the banner without touching the config file itself [0.4]

How to try

Install it with Homebrew

If you have Homebrew installed on your system, you can install uWelcome with the following command:

brew install themimolet/tap/uwelcome

It's the recommended way to install uWelcome on your system, as it will get updated via Homebrew.

Download it from the releases page

You can download the latest release from the releases page.

You can then rename it to uwelcome and place it in your usual /bin folder.

Note: You won't receive automatic updates, you will have to download uWelcome at each new release.

Compile from source

You'll need to have go installed on your system to compile uWelcome from source.

Then you'll have to simply clone the repository and then build the binary:

git clone https://github.com/theMimolet/uwelcome
cd uwelcome
go build
./uwelcome

You'll then have the uwelcome binary in the current directory, which you can just drop into your usual /bin folder and it will work without any further setup (except for the configuration file if you want to customize it).

Commands

uWelcome supports the following commands (for now):

toggle  - Toggles the MOTD on or off for the current user
enable  - Always enables the MOTD for the current user
disable - Always disables the MOTD for the current user
version - Displays the version of uWelcome currently in use

AI usage

This project had mild AI involvement back when it was one with umotd, mainly for auto-completion in the code editor - nowadays it's being barely developped with any AI at all, and most content is written by hand (for practice and fun).

Due to past AI involvement, I give this project the following rating
