SYNOPSIS

genact [*OPTIONS*]

DESCRIPTION

genact pretends to be busy in the terminal: it plays fake scenes (compilers, network dumps, installs, and similar eye candy) so it looks like serious work is happening when nothing useful is. Multiple instances increase the chaos. There is also a WebAssembly web build at the project homepage.Install via release binaries, cargo install genact, Homebrew, FreeBSD pkg, Scoop, and other packages. No external services required.

PARAMETERS

Common options (see genact --help for the authoritative list of your build):-l, --list-modules

List available scenes/modules.
-m, --modules *name*
Run only selected modules.
-s, --speed-factor *n*
Speed multiplier.
-h, --help / -V, --version
Help and version.

INSTALL

sudo pacman -S genact
copy
brew install genact
copy
nix profile install nixpkgs#genact
copy

CAVEATS

Purely cosmetic; does not perform real builds or network work (beyond what a scene might simulate). Intended as humor and demos, not production tooling.
