# The following code goes in your ~/.profile
#
# This propmpt shows a beer when you launch a Terminal window on a Fridays.
# It checks every time you get a new prompt. A minute after 11:59M on a
# Thursday, if you press enter, it will add beer to the prompt. A minute
# after 11:59 PM on a Friday, no more beer.
#
# This is for terminals that use the Bash shell, which was the default for
# MacOS previous to Catalina.
