dotnetsay 3.0.3 (original) (raw)
A .NET tool that displays messages with a friendly ASCII bot. It is modeled after cowsay, which includes much fancier features.
The tool targets .NET 8 and uses RollForward to enable compatibility with later runtime versions.
dotnetday was created as part of the .NET Core 2.1 project to provide a basic tool to test the (at that time) new dotnet tool install capability. It has been updated multiple times with new features and is now a file-based app.
