Steps to use it:

  1. Install chance-cli using npm i -g chance-cli
  2. Modify your bash profile (I'm assuming you would be using zsh so ~/.zshrc)
  3. Add the function mentioned above at the end of your config file

You can then use chance-cli generators for you

  • fake company
  • fake name
  • fake guid
  • fake string
    and it will be copied to your clipboard as well
