SYNOPSIS

apt moo

DESCRIPTION

apt moo is a classic APT easter egg that displays an ASCII art cow. It is a playful reference to the cowsay program and has been included in APT for many years.
The output varies slightly between APT versions and may display different messages or art depending on the implementation.

HISTORY

The moo easter egg has been part of APT since the early 2000s. It was inspired by the Debian culture of including playful hidden features in software. Running apt-get moo produces a different message stating "This APT has Super Cow Powers" without showing the cow.
