Random Scripts Tracker

#whereami

Use this script to geo locate your mac and update your slack with that information. Feel free to steal it and modify away. There are a few arrays that you should initialize with values that make sense for you.

running with the -h switch will give you help information

LOCATION_MAP contains geo coordinates that you would normally be visiting (and that you don't mind updating slack with!).

EMOJI_MAP is the array with the emojis to use for the locations found in LOCATION_MAP.

there are two dependancies, make sure to install:

https://github.com/rockymadden/slack-cli

if you wish to update slack.

and

git@github.com:lindes/get-location.git

this is required no matter what - it's what queries the mac's location services.
