From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

meme-maker: quick and simple CLI tool to generate memes (github.com)

I made this as a challenge to learn golang. If you ever wanted to make memes without having to use those pesky GUI tools, there you go! The only dependency is lmageMagick and the windows version comes batteries-included.

Nice creation. I'd recommend packaging the Linux version as tgz instead of zip, as it's a default compression on Linux systems and will always store the executable flag. Plus that makes it compatible with Github Application Managers like gam.

i think the .tar.gz extension is more common than .tgz

More common, but.. more better? Some HTML libraries still improperly rename tar.gz files when they pre-exist, and it's more characters to type.
