dotnetsay .NET Tool

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.

Requirements

  • .NET 8, 9, or 10 SDK

Installation

Install the tool globally:

dotnet tool install -g dotnetsay
dotnetsay

Or run it once without installing using dnx:

dnx dotnetsay

Usage

Basic usage:

dotnetsay

With a custom message:

dotnetsay "Hello World!"

From piped input:

echo "This is awesome" | dotnetsay

Uninstall

dotnet tool uninstall -g dotnetsay
