breadsay

cowsay, but it's bread now.

A tiny command-line tool that puts your message in a speech bubble next to a slice of ASCII art bread. That's the whole pitch.

Pipe anything into it, or pass a message directly, and breadsay wraps it in a bubble pointing at a loaf. It does exactly one thing, and it does it fast, with no dependencies to install first. 

./install.sh
breadsay "hello, world"

Same family, same idea

breadsay is the sibling project to breadfetch: both are small C++ tools built with an eye toward Carbon, Google's experimental C++ successor, using the same reference-implementation-plus-C++-interop structure. If one sits on your dotfiles, the other probably should too.

Get breadsay

Free, small, and a little bit silly.
