# hitchhiker

This plugin adds quotes from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, from Douglas Adams.

To use it, add `hitchhiker` to the plugins array in your zshrc file:

```zsh
plugins=(... hitchhiker)
```

## Aliases

- `hitchhiker`: displays a quote from the book using `fortune`.
- `hitchhiker_cow`: displays a quote from the book using `cowthink`.

```console
$ hitchhiker_cow
 _______________________________________
( "OK, so ten out of ten for style, but )
( minus several million for good        )
( thinking, yeah? "                     )
 ---------------------------------------

                ||----w |
                ||     ||
```

## Requirements

- `fortune` and `strfile`.
- `cowthink` if using the `hitchhiker_cow` command.
