Fish French Greeting Script

This script provides a friendly greeting in the Fish shell, including a French word of the day fetched from the Transparent Language API, along with a random Kaomoji.

Installation

1. Ensure you have the Fish shell installed on your system.
2. Make sure curl is installed. You can install it using your package manager, e.g., sudo apt install curl on Ubuntu.
3. Copy the fish_greeting.fish script to your Fish functions directory, typically ~/.config/fish/functions/.

Usage

The script runs automatically each time you start a new Fish shell session, providing you with a greeting and the French word of the day. Alternatively, you can run fish_greeting manually to call this function.

Configuration

• The script caches the word of the day in ~/.cache/fish_greeting_cache.xml. Ensure this directory is writable.
• The script uses the URL https://wotd.transparent.com/rss/fr-widget.xml to fetch the word of the day. You can change this URL if needed.

Troubleshooting

• If you see an error about curl not being installed, make sure to install it using your system's package manager.
• If the script fails to fetch the word of the day, check your internet connection and ensure the API URL is accessible.
