quote-cli

quote-cli is a command‑line utility that fetches and displays text quotations directly in a terminal. It can return a randomly selected quote or, on request, the quote of the day, presenting the quotation together with its author. The tool is invoked with a simple command and optional flags, and it prints the result in plain text, making it suitable for quick inspiration or scripting use.

The program is distributed as an npm package and can be installed globally with a single command, after which the `quote` executable becomes available in any shell. Its source includes automated build status badges, dependency checks, test coverage, and vulnerability monitoring, indicating a maintained and stable code base. The license is MIT, allowing unrestricted reuse and modification.

Designed for developers who spend time in the terminal, quote-cli provides an easy way to retrieve literary or historical sayings without leaving the command line. It is a lightweight, cross‑platform tool that runs wherever Node.js is supported.
