Can anyone tell me if there is an alternative to the cowsay command that prints dinosaurs instead of cows or other things? I tried with the -f flag, but I always have to change files to print different ones.

I looked here looking for alternatives to cowsay, but nothing: https://www.producthunt.com/alternatives/cowsay-ascii-generator

Thank you

There two ways/method to do what you want:

  • dinosay

It's on github and pip, and while it's not written in Perl (as the original version is) it does implement by default what you want (which are dinosaurs instead of cows)

  • Use custom ascii art with cowsay

This is supported by default by cowsay, in the form of "cowfile". This takes the form of a Perl snippet, and is described succinctly in the cowsay manpage.

That being said, most repos where you installed cowsay should provide you with one or two dinosaurs.
