I would like to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year rich in Linux to everyone!

If you want to create a Christmas atmosphere on our terminal, I would love to recommend it from GitHub Sergio Lepore's Christmas tree script!

To use it, all you have to do is run the following command:

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sergiolepore/ChristBASHTree/master/tree-EN.sh | bash

Then we get an animated Christmas tree with greetings:

A CTRL + C keys to exit it.

Another Christmas tree script is also worth trying, which original version can be found here. In it, I rewrote my own welcome text.

Create a file:

nano karacsonyfa.sh

And let’s include the following content with our own message:

        line[$k$i]=$li
        column[$k$i]=$co
        color=$(((color+1)%8))
    }
    k=$((k % 2 + 1))
done

Then give the file run permission and run:

chmod +x karacsonyfa.sh
./ karacsonyfa.sh

From this also the CTRL + C keys to exit.

After rewriting your own welcome text in it, adjust the positions of the lines in the formulas before the echo commands so that the caption is centered.
