This is probably my favorite little script that I have configured to execute with a Git alias:
#!/bin/bash
elinks -dump randomfunfacts.com | sed -n '/^│ /p' | tr -d \│
I have this saved as ~/bin/fact
and linked to a Git alias with the
following config in my ~/.gitconfig
file:
[alias]
p = !~/bin/fact && git pull
Each time I pull updates in any repository, it takes just enough time to complete for me to read a random fun fact:
$ git p

Current branch master is up to date.
