GoSiMac downloads Bing's daily wallpapers, Unsplash's random images, etc. for you to have a beautiful wallpaper on your desktop whenever you want. Personally, I wrote this to have fun and help one of my friends who are not among us right now. 😞

export http_proxy="http://127.0.0.1:1080"
export https_proxy="http://127.0.0.1:1080"
gosimac u -q Tehran -n 10set http_proxy "http://127.0.0.1:1080"
set https_proxy "http://127.0.0.1:1080"
$env:HTTP_PROXY = "http://127.0.0.1:1080"

gosimac u -q Tehran -n 10
By default, gosimac stores images in $XDG_PICTURES_DIR/GoSiMac (e.g. $HOME/Pictures/GoSiMac).
For adding new source you only need to create a new sub-command in cmd package
and then calling your new source with provided path. Also for saving images
you can use the following helper function:
func (u *Unsplash) Store(name string, content io.ReadCloser) {
path := path.Join(
u.Path,
fmt.Sprintf("%s-%s.jpg", u.Prefix, name),
)
if _, err := os.Stat(path); err == nil {
pterm.Warning.Printf("%s is already exists\n", path)
return
}
file, err := os.Create(path)
if err != nil {
pterm.Error.Printf("os.Create: %v\n", err)
return
}
bytes, err := io.Copy(file, content)
if err != nil {
pterm.Error.Printf("io.Copy (%d bytes): %v\n", bytes, err)
}
if err := file.Close(); err != nil {
pterm.Error.Printf("(*os.File).Close: %v", err)
}
if err := content.Close(); err != nil {
pterm.Error.Printf("(*io.ReadCloser).Close: %v", err)
}
}
