etc-issuer

On Linux startup, if you don't use a splash screen, /sbin/agetty will display the contents of /etc/issue on your text console prior to login.^{Read about it on ArchWiki}

This project is a framework for making and managing ASCII/CP437/ANSI text art for /etc/issue.

For example, I rock:

features

• Watch a file and autopreview its agetty output as you edit it
• Tutorials and reference sheets in howto/
• Example text art to try out and download

usage

Install a theme,

./install.sh art/$THEME_NAME_HERE

or test a theme,

./test art/$THEME_NAME_HERE

or view my reference sheets.

./test howto/$00TUTORIAL_NAME_HERE
