Roadmap

Here are features that are planned for the future:

• System message slot for displaying a message following a script or such (not randomized) [Maybe ?]

How to try

Download it from the releases page

You can download the latest release from the releases page.

You can then rename it to uwelcome and place it in your usual /bin folder.

Note: You won't receive automatic updates, you will have to download uWelcome at each new release.

Compile from source

You'll need to have go installed on your system to compile uWelcome from source.

Then you'll have to simply clone the repository and then build the binary:

git clone https://github.com/projectbluefin/uwelcome
cd uwelcome
go build
./uwelcome

You'll then have the uwelcome binary in the current directory, which you can just drop into your usual /bin folder and it will work without any further setup (except for the configuration file if you want to customize it).

Commands

uWelcome supports the following commands (for now):

disable:    Disables the MOTD for the user
edit:       Opens the config file with the default terminal editor
enable:     Enables the MOTD for the user
reset:      Resets the config file to the default/system config
status:     Prints the config file currently in use
toggle:     Toggles the MOTD on/off for the current user
version:    Displays the version of uWelcome currently in use

AI usage

This project had mild AI involvement mainly for auto-completion and AI is still kind of used for code checking, but the code is still written by the hands of an idiot (me :P). The program is always tested before release, no worries. (I have standards >:3)
