Question: where do the amazing quotes come from ? #385

I really love all the quotes when opening vim. When I cam, I force myself to just vim, then :e my_file just to see a quote. :)

@MartyLake I'm not sure , but i think it's something like Fortune

🙏

Startify doesn't rely on an external fortune/cowsay tool and has its own implementation: https://github.com/mhinz/vim-startify/blob/master/autoload/startify/fortune.vim

There are a lot of tech/programming quotes all over the internet and I collected them from several sources over time. Just search for popular programming quotes etc.

And some quotes were added later on by other people. But please do not create PRs for adding even more quotes. We have enough already. :) See :h g:startify_custom_header_quotes instead.

Or you just build the whole header yourself, using :h g:startify_custom_header.

Hope that helps!
