follow any of the mommy installation instructions for your installed linux subsystem (default is ubuntu) or build mommy from source~
msys2 (automatic or manual updates)
follow any of the mommy installation instructions for arch linux (except do not use the arch user repository method) or build mommy from source~

🐐 without a package manager

build from source and install

if you want to customise where and how mommy installs, you can just compile her code yourself~

prerequisites
- git
- gnu make (gmake)

clone repository

git clone https://github.com/FWDekker/mommy.git
cd mommy

install
this step builds mommy's files and copies them into your system. the exact paths differ per system, so find the instructions that are right for your system.

ℹ️ note
if you want to install mommy only for the current user, add prefix='~/.local/' before install~

💡 tip
check the makefile for a list of all prefix variables you can override~
- debian/ubuntu/apt-based
```
sudo make install/deb
```
- freebsd
```
sudo gmake install/freebsd
```
- macos
```
sudo gmake install/osxpkg
```
- netbsd
```
sudo gmake install/netbsd
```
- openbsd
```
sudo gmake install/openbsd
```
- windows
```
sudo make install
```
- all other unix systems
```
sudo make install
```
test (optional)
if you want to make sure installation was successful, you can run tests using shellspec. run the following from inside the cloned mommy repository
```
git clone https://github.com/shellspec/shellspec.git
PATH="$(pwd)/shellspec/:$PATH" make system=1 test
```
some tests will be skipped, depending on which other programs you have installed~
uninstall (optional)
if you want to uninstall after running make install, just run the same command as in step 3, except you replace install with uninstall.

uninstall might not work completely if you installed a different version than the one you're uninstalling. for the best results, run mommy -v, check the version number, run git checkout <the version>, and then perform the uninstallation~

use without installing

if you don't want to use a package manager but also don't want to bother with makeing mommy, you can download a universal build of mommy, and play around with that. this will not install any files onto your system. if you're here because you want to install mommy only for a specific user, the "build from source and install" option is probably a better approach, though~

the script below downloads the latest stable release and extracts it for you. if you don't want to use curl, just check the latest release in your browser and download the file ending in +generic.tar.gz manually~

# download latest archive from github release
curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/FWDekker/mommy/releases/latest | grep "browser_download_url.*generic\.tar\.gz" | cut -d : -f 2,3 | tr -d \" | xargs curl -sLOJ
# extract archive to `mommy`
tar -C ./ -xzf mommy-*.tar.gz
# invoke mommy
./mommy/usr/bin/mommy

🔮 what's next?

check out how to use mommy, read all about ways you can configure mommy, and integrate mommy with your shell~

📖 usage ^{top ▲}

mommy processes (the output status of) a command and compliments you if the command succeeds and encourages you if it fails~

Tip

the recommended way of long-term mommy usage is to integrate mommy into your shell, so mommy will run after every command you run~

💃 how to run

for reference, here's the three main ways to invoke mommy~

format	example	when to use
`mommy [command] ...`	`mommy npm test`	if you want mommy to respond to a single command~
`mommy -e [command]`	`mommy -e "ls -l \| wc -l"`	if you want mommy when using `\|` or `>`, or need mommy in a script~
`mommy -s [status]`	`mommy -s $?`	if you already ran a command and want mommy's help afterwards~

🛸 extra options

additionally, mommy knows a few extra options, which you can use to discover who mommy is and to tell mommy which configuration files she should use~

short option	long option	description
`-h`	`--help`	opens mommy's manual page~
`-v`	`--version`	displays mommy's version information~
`-1`		writes output to stdout instead of stderr~
`-c <file>`	`--config=<file>`	tells mommy that she should read your config from `<file>`~
`-d <dirs>`	`--global-config-dirs=<dirs>`	sets global configuration dirs to the colon-separated list in `<dirs>`~

🙋 configuration ^{top ▲}

mommy's behavior can be modified using config files. the easiest way to do so is to add your config to the file ~/.config/mommy/config.sh. you can also set up a global config file that is applied to all users, by default in /etc/mommy/config.sh. read more about the way config files are loaded~

mommy supports a lot of different settings. if you want to configure the value of MOMMY_SWEETIE, add the following line to your config file:

MOMMY_SWEETIE="catgirl"

make sure you do not put spaces around the =, and you do put quotes (") around the value~

🔍 config file locations

when mommy runs, she will first load the system-wide global config file. after that, she will read the user-specific local config file, overriding the values from the global file~

to find the global config file, mommy runs the following procedure.
1. mommy determines the list of global config dirs.
  1. if a list is specified using a command-line option, that list is used.
  2. otherwise, the list consists of all directories in $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS, plus /etc/mommy, plus /usr/local/etc/mommy/.
2. mommy traverses this list, and stops once she finds a directory that contains the file config.sh. this file will be the global config file~
to find the local config file, mommy runs the following procedure.
1. if a config file is specified using a command-line option, that file is used.
2. if $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is defined, the file $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/mommy/config.sh is used.
3. otherwise, $HOME/.config/mommy/config.sh is used~

👛 list of all settings

variable	description	list?	default
`MOMMY_CAREGIVER`	what mommy calls herself	yes	`mommy`
`MOMMY_PRONOUNS`	mommy's pronouns for herself. should be three words separated by spaces, as in `they them their` (subject, object, possessive)	yes	`she her her`
`MOMMY_SWEETIE`	what mommy calls you	yes	<username>
`MOMMY_PREFIX`	what mommy puts at the start of each sentence	yes	<empty>
`MOMMY_SUFFIX`	what mommy puts at the end of each sentence	yes	`~`
`MOMMY_CAPITALIZE`	`0` to start sentences in lowercase, `1` for uppercase, anything else to change nothing	no	`0`
`MOMMY_COLOR`	color of mommy's text. you can use any xterm color code, or write `lolcat` to use lolcat (install separately). specify multiple colors separated by `/` to randomly select one. set to empty string for your terminal's default color	yes	`005`
`MOMMY_COMPLIMENTS`	default compliment templates	yes	<various>
`MOMMY_COMPLIMENTS_EXTRA`	additional compliment templates you can specify	yes	<empty>
`MOMMY_COMPLIMENTS_ENABLED`	`1` to enable compliments, anything else to disable	no	`1`
`MOMMY_ENCOURAGEMENTS`	default encouragement templates	yes	<various>
`MOMMY_ENCOURAGEMENTS_EXTRA`	additional encouragement templates you can specify	yes	<empty>
`MOMMY_ENCOURAGEMENTS_ENABLED`	`1` to enable encouragements, anything else to disable	no	`1`
`MOMMY_FORBIDDEN_WORDS`	mommy will never give outputs that match forbidden strings. each entry is expressed as an extended regex (see also `man grep`). to enforce this, mommy will filter out all templates that match at least one regex. as a failsafe, mommy will also check her final output after choosing and filling in the template, and will output nothing if she finds a forbidden string. also, if you want, you can replace literal characters with their octal (not hex!) escape sequences; for example, you can write `\0155\0157\0155` instead of `mom`	yes	<empty>
`MOMMY_IGNORED_STATUSES`	exit codes that mommy should never reply to. set to empty string to ignore nothing	yes	`130`

🪣 how to configure lists

some of these settings support lists. mommy chooses a random element from each list each time she is called by you. (except for MOMMY_FORBIDDEN_WORDS and MOMMY_IGNORED_STATUSES, where mommy always considers all elements of the list.) in a list, elements are separated by a newline or by a /. elements that contain whitespace only, and elements that start with a # are ignored~

for example, if you set
```
MOMMY_SWEETIE="girl/kitten"
```
then mommy will sometimes call you girl, and sometimes kitten~
if you set
```
MOMMY_CAREGIVER="mommy
mummy/#daddy/caregiver"
```
then mommy will call herself mommy, mummy, or caregiver, but not daddy~
if you set
```
MOMMY_PRONOUNS="she her her/they them their"
```
then mommy may choose between mommy knows she loves her girl and mommy knows they love their girl (but not mommy knows they love her girl)~
if you set
```
MOMMY_FORBIDDEN_WORDS="cat/dog"
```
then mommy will never use templates that contain cat, and will never use templates that contain dog~

🧬 how to configure templates

you can add a list of your own compliments to either MOMMY_COMPLIMENTS or MOMMY_COMPLIMENTS_EXTRA. there is a slight difference between the two lists:

if you want both the default and your own compliments, add your own compliments to MOMMY_COMPLIMENTS_EXTRA~
if you want your own compliments and not the default compliments, add your own compliments to MOMMY_COMPLIMENTS~

and similarly so for encouragements~

inside compliments and encouragements, you can put placeholders that contain the random values that mommy chose. for example, if you add the compliment %%CAREGIVER%% loves you, and have MOMMY_CAREGIVER=your mommy, then mommy outputs your mommy loves you~

variable	description
`%%CAREGIVER%%`	what mommy calls herself
`%%THEY%%`	mommy's subject pronoun (e.g. they, she, he)
`%%THEM%%`	mommy's object pronoun (e.g. them, her, he)
`%%THEIR%%`	mommy's possessive pronoun (e.g. their, her, he)
`%%SWEETIE%%`	what mommy calls you
`%%N%%`	a newline
`%%S%%`	a forward slash (`/`)

🐚 shell integration ^{top ▲}

instead of calling mommy for each command, you can fully integrate mommy with your shell to get mommy's output each time you run any command. here are some examples on how you can do that in various shells. recall that you can add MOMMY_COMPLIMENTS_ENABLED=0 to your mommy config file to disable compliments while keeping encouragements~

this is just a small list of possibilities. if you know of another way to integrate mommy, feel free to contribute them by opening a pull request!

🪅 bash

in bash you can set PROMPT_COMMAND to run mommy after each command. just add the following line to ~/.bashrc:

PROMPT_COMMAND="mommy -1 -s \$?; $PROMPT_COMMAND"

bash showing the text 'it's okay to make mistakes' after running a command that has failed

🐟 fish

in fish you can have mommy output a message on the right side of your prompt by creating ~/.config/fish/functions/fish_right_prompt.fish with the following contents:

function fish_right_prompt
    mommy -1 -s $status
end

if you have an oh my fish theme installed, check the docs of your theme to see if there's an easy way to extend the theme's right prompt. if not, you can either overwrite it with the above code, or copy-paste the theme's code into your own config file and then add mommy yourself~

fish shell showing the text 'it's okay to make mistakes' in the right prompt after running a command that has failed

📈 nushell

in nushell you can have mommy output a message on the right side of your prompt by adding the following line to your ~/.config/nushell/config.nu file:

$env.PROMPT_COMMAND_RIGHT = {|| mommy -1 -s $env.LAST_EXIT_CODE }

nushell showing the text 'just a little further, mommy knows you can do it' in the right prompt after running a command that has failed

🪟 powershell

the exact instructions depend on how and where you installed mommy~

disable mommy's color output
mommy's colors don't really work well in powershell, so you'll have to disable them~

wsl
if you want to run mommy through wsl, open wsl and run

# run this in wsl
mkdir -p ~/.config/mommy
echo "MOMMY_COLOR=" >> ~/.config/mommy/config.sh

git bash
if you want to run mommy through git bash, run

# run this in powershell
[IO.Directory]::CreateDirectory("$HOME/.config/mommy")
[IO.File]::WriteAllLines("$HOME/.config/mommy/config.sh", "MOMMY_COLOR=''")

test prompt
change powershell's prompt to include mommy's message~

wsl
if you want to run mommy through wsl, run

# run this in powershell
function prompt { "$(wsl -e mommy -1 -s $([int][bool]::Parse(!$?)))> " }

git bash
if you want to run mommy through git bash, and you downloaded mommy to C:\Users\username\mommy, run

# run this in powershell
function prompt { "$(& "C:\Program Files\Git\bin\sh.exe" "C:/Users/username/mommy" -1 -s $([int][bool]::Parse(!$?)))> " }

save prompt
now let's make this prompt persistent. in powershell, run notepad $profile to open your powershell settings, and add the function prompt [...] line from above~

ℹ️ note
if you get an error that this file does not exist, run new-item -itemtype file -path $profile -force to create it~

ℹ️ note
if you get an error that you cannot run local scripts, run Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope LocalMachine as admin, or sign the script~
improve prompt
the instructions above show the basics of using mommy in powershell. you can make it way cooler using a theme engine like oh-my-posh. for example, you can use background colors or display mommy in the right prompt instead of the left~

💤 zsh

depending on where you want mommy's output, the instructions are a bit different. you can either get the output above your prompt, or aligned to the right~

above the prompt
to get mommy's output on a separate line above your prompt, add the following line to ~/.zshrc:

precmd() { mommy -1 -s $? }

to the right of each command
to get mommy's output on the same line as your prompt, aligned to the right, add the following to ~/.zshrc:

set -o PROMPT_SUBST
RPS1='$(mommy -1 -s $?)'  # using single quotes here is required!

and add the following to your mommy config:

MOMMY_COLOR=""
MOMMY_PREFIX="%F{005}/%F{006}"
MOMMY_SUFFIX="~%f"

normally, mommy sets colors using standard ansi color codes, but zsh's support is a bit special, resulting in zsh miscalculating the prompt width, which looks like your prompt is misaligned or shifted. to fix this, you should disable mommy's color feature and manually set colors in the prefix option. to specify colors, use zsh's special syntax, where the numbers correspond to the xterm color codes. finally, the %f in the suffix resets the colors~

zsh showing the text 'never give up, my love' in the right prompt after running a command that has failed

🐌 other shells

as a generic method, in any posix shell (including sh, ash, dash, bash) you can change the prompt itself to contain a message from mommy by setting the $PS1 variable:

PS1="\$(mommy -1 -s \$?)$PS1"

to improve the spacing, set MOMMY_SUFFIX="~ " in mommy's config file.

add the above line to the config file for your shell (e.g. .bashrc for bash) to apply it each time you open the shell. some shells (dash, pdksh) do not have a config file like .bashrc, but you can enable one by adding the following line to ~/.profile:

export ENV="$HOME/.shrc"

note that this will apply to all (non-login) posix shells that you open. after that, add the above-mentioned line that defines PS1 to ~/.shrc. log out and back in, and mommy will appear in your shell~

✍️ renaming the mommy executable

if you use any of the above integrations, you don't have to call mommy directly. if you don't want that, but also don't want to write mommy, this section explains how you can instead write, say, daddy, marija, or sinterklaas~

mommy is installed in slightly different locations on different systems, but you can easily find where mommy is installed with whereis mommy:

$ whereis mommy
mommy: /usr/bin/mommy /usr/share/man/man1/mommy.1.gz

the exact output of whereis differs depending on your system, but in this case you can see that the program is installed in /usr/bin/mommy (and the manual page in /usr/share/man/man1/mommy.1.gz). if whereis mommy doesn't work, mommy is not on your path, but you can still find her with find / -name mommy~

anyway, after finding mommy, you can just symlink using the following commands: (if whereis gave different paths than the ones above, then change these commands accordingly)

sudo ln -fs /usr/bin/mommy /usr/bin/daddy
sudo ln -fs /usr/share/man/man1/mommy.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/daddy.1.gz

[!IMPORTANT] uninstalling mommy will not remove the manually created symlinks~

⚗️ development ^{top ▲}

this section explains how to build mommy from source, in case you want to help with development or for any other reason~

🎬 run

you can actually just directly run the script in src/main/sh/mommy. the only difference will be that the -h and -v options may not work correctly. if that annoys you, run make build after each change, and use build/bin/mommy instead~

🧪 tests

requirements
shellspec
test local code
1. all tests
```
make test
```
2. unit tests
```
make test/unit
```
3. integration tests
```
make test/integration
```
test installed code
```
make system=1 test
```

except for system=1, test behaviour is configured with environment variables. check the various files in src/test/ to find 'em all~

🏬 distribution

mommy is distributed in three ways:

attached as binary packages to each github release,
built on build servers,
and available as source builds ("ports", basically) on a few servers.

let's go into them in more detail~

📦 binary packages
the binary packages attached to the github release are built with the makefile. run make list to see a list of build targets; you're looking for the ones starting with dist/~

to build the packages, you need at least gnu make, ruby, and fpm. (actually, you don't need fpm for netbsd and openbsd.) on debian-based systems, you already have gnu make, so you only need
```
sudo apt install ruby
sudo gem install fpm
```
after that, just run make dist/deb (or better: mommy make dist/deb), and a .deb package will be built in dist/. run make or make list for a list of valid build targets. a special target is install, which directly copies the files into the specified directories on your system. these directories can be changed by setting prefix variables, as in make prefix=/usr/ install. i recommend running make --dry-run prefix=/usr/ install first so you can verify that all directories are calculated correctly. check the makefile for more details~

all systems can build packages for themselves without additional dependencies beyond those noted above. if you want to compile for a different system, you may need additional dependencies. for example, if you want to build packages for alpine linux, archlinux, and rpm from a debian-like system, you will respectively need
```
sudo apt install libarchive-tools rpm zstd
```
and then you can run
```
make dist/apk dist/pacman dist/rpm
```
unfortunately, packages for macos, netbsd, and openbsd cannot be built on systems other than themselves~
🏗️ build servers
build servers build mommy distributions on-demand for each release, and make the created packages available for all users. how sweet~
- apt-mommy is a github-based apt repository that hosts mommy's .deb packages after they have been built in mommy's cd pipeline~
- copr builds packages for fedora and epel~
🌱 source builds
some servers host instructions on how to build mommy, but don't do any work beyond that. users connect to the server, get the latest instructions, and their system builds mommy for them locally~
- for arch linux, the arch user repository hosts the mommy package. a development mirror is hosted on github in aur-mommy~
- for homebrew, mommy has the homebrew-mommy repository on github, which is resolved automatically by the brew client based on the repository's name~

📯 release

main always contains the latest stable version. to release a new version, just use the deploy action, which can be activated using a workflow_dispatch event~

release checklists

before triggering deployment
- update version~
- update all changelogs~
  - update CHANGELOG.md~
    - do not leave a placeholder section for [unreleased], because it will end up like that in the .deb's changelog.gz~
    - remove empty subsections for the new release~
    - ensure no line breaks are used as whitespace; github release notes use them as actual line breaks~
  - update pkg/rpkg/mommy.spec.rpkg if changes were made to copr's rpkg packaging process~
  - update pkg/fpm/deb.changelog if changes were made to fpm's debian packaging process~
  - update pkg/fpm/rpm.changelog if changes were made to fpm's rpm packaging process~
- update acknowledgements in README.md~
- update promotional images in .github/img/~
after triggering deployment
- a new github release is created automatically~
