weather-wrapper

A bash wrapper for wttr.in.

Usage

A bash wrapper for wttr.in.
Displays weather forecast for a location, or the current phase of the moon.
Options:
-0, --today: Display today's quadripartite weather forecast
-1, --tomorrow: Display tomorrow's
-2, --nextday: Display the next day's
-3, --three: Three-day quad
-c, --city CITY: Specify the location city as CITY, e.g. -c Berlin
-m, --moon: Show the moon phase (location agnostic)
Without any options, display today's simple forecast for your default location

Why a Wrapper?

Firstly, if you're looking for a self-hosted all singing all dancing program that does this: https://github.com/schachmat/wego is a good option, however it requires go and an api key, this program is more portable, only requiring curl. (for moon phase output use https://github.com/chubin/pyphoon)

Also, before this I had never programmed anything in bash so it was a bit of a challenge.

TODO

  • read defaults from config file including default city
    • expand to work with more options
  • make only one curl request when combining -0, -1, -2
  • weather and moon should probably be permitted together, outputs concatenated
