Flip

Flip was designed to help you make them difficult decisions quickly right from your command line and was initially built to answer the common whats for dinner conundrum. I ate dinner late that night after learning the swift argument parser library, all in the name of bringing a small lightweight coin flip CLI tool to the open source community.

Invoke the flip command to flip coins in your command line.

$ flip

Use the --coins or -c argument and pass a number to flip serval coins in one command.

$ flip -c 3

Need to disable the colored or animated output for instant coin flips, piping output to different commands or easy scraping of outputted text? Use the --disable or -d argument.

$ flip --disable

If you need help use the built in help screen by passing the --help or -h argument.

$ flip -h

Currently we suggest installing from source, this will require swift as a make dependency. Its suggested that you checkout a tagged version when installing or updating for stability (use the git tag command to see all tags or see the GitHub Releases page). I am working on bringing flip to major package managers soon such as homebrew, the AUR and APT.

$ git clone https://github.com/dominicegginton/flip
$ cd flip
$ git checkout {version number}
$ sudo make install

$ git pull
$ git checkout {version number}
$ sudo make install
