Build from source (alternative)

git clone https://github.com/bxavaby/rnm.git
cd rnm
zig build -Doptimize=ReleaseSmall
sudo mv zig-out/bin/rnm /usr/local/bin/

※ Note: If you are on Windows, download rnm-windows-x86_64.exe from Releases and add to your PATH.

Usage

Flags:

• -l <3–10> defines the length
• -f <char> defines the first letter
• -v / version prints the current version
• -h / help shows the help message

Examples

$ rnm
favoda

$ rnm -l 4
pace

$ rnm -f l -l 4 && rnm -f e -l 5
losa
ezura

※ Note: -l and -f are order-independent but cannot be grouped (yet).

First ziguana steps. Decided to make something moderately useful, while keeping it somewhat crude. Hence the logo.
