<p>The terminal is a very powerful tool, and it’s probably the most interesting part in Unix. Among the plethora of useful commands and scripts you can use, some seem less practical, if not completely useless. Here are some Bash commands that are fun, and some of them are useful as well.</p>
<h3 class="nolinks">Oneko</h3>
<p>This command adds some spice to your terminal by adding a cat to your screen which will chase after your (mouse) cursor. Install it by running this script:</p>
<div class="holsh-div nolinks">
<div class="bash">
<pre>
sudo apt install oneko</pre>
</div>
</div>
<p>Type <code>oneko</code> to display the cat.</p>

<h3 class="nolinks">figlet</h3>
<p>Figlet is a command for those who love to write in ASCII art. It greatly simplifies this task as it automatically transforms any given string. It comes with a bunch of fonts by default at “/usr/share/figlet/fonts/,” and you can of course add your own.</p>
<div class="holsh-div nolinks">
<div class="bash">
<pre>
figlet [-f path to the font] [string]</pre>
