fork of https://github.com/BlakeJC94/alpha-nvim-fortune. instead of inspirational quotes, these are just BOFH excuses on the nvim alpha-dashboard (Only the dashboard theme is supported for now.)
Many thanks to @mhinz (original author for vim-startify), @BlakeJC94 (original other of the fork for alpha) and @chuckwagoncomputing (who provided the list of excuses)
It simple adds a
excuse() function for use in the plugin that generates a formatted BOFH excuse at
the footer of the landing page when using the dashboard theme.
First follow the instructions at https://github.com/goolord/alpha-nvim/. To
add alpha-nvim-bofh-excuse with Packer, install the packages with the folloing
lines in your init.lua:
return require('packer').startup(function()
use 'wbthomason/packer.nvim'
use {
'goolord/alpha-nvim',
requires = {'burgr033/alpha-nvim-bofh-excuse'},
config = function() require("config.alpha") end,
}
end)Then in .config/nvim/lua/config/alpha.lua, use the following lines:
local alpha = require("alpha")
local dashboard = require("alpha.themes.dashboard")
local excuse = require("alpha.excuse")
