Today I Learned (TIL)

I learn a lot of new things every day. At some point I decided I wanted to have a public record of some of them, so I wrote a shell script to let me open a terminal, type til, and immediately jot down whatever little tidbit I just came across. This repo is the result of that.

Quickstart

Trouble with all the programs I run in my various .fish scripts? Try Shell Bling Ubuntu, that should contain most of ’em.

  1. Fork the repo.
