Obviously, otherwise how would I know that cowsay use an isolated file for each animal and this project have all the animals harcoded? For example: https://github.com/MatteoGuadrini/dinosay/blob/master/dinosa...

Dinosay is a humble, simple, nice and paleolithic alternative to cowsay

Hi everyone, I have developed a fun little tool (it really doesn't do any good except to get a laugh) that wants to be a freer alternative than cowsay, but with a default dinosaur list. His name is dinosay and the link to the project is this: https://github.com/MatteoGuadrini/dinosay I wanted to hear from anyone about development suggestions or new ideas or if you like it. If you like it, I'd love to see your star on github. Thank you all
