evil.sh is a collection of subtle and not-so-subtle shell tweaks designed to prank colleagues by slowly driving them insane. It is sourced from a user's .bash_profile and is purely for entertainment purposes.

Use cases

• prank a colleague's shell environment
• add subtle annoying tweaks to someone's bash profile
• explore creative shell configuration tricks
• have fun with harmless shell trolling

When to choose

• you want to play a lighthearted prank on a coworker using their shell
• you want a ready-made collection of mischievous bash tweaks
• you need entertainment-value shell scripts that are not immediately destructive

When to avoid

• you need a serious or productive shell configuration tool
• you cannot tolerate any disruption to your shell environment
• you require a maintained tool with a formal license and active development
• you want obviously destructive or immediately harmful behavior (which this project explicitly rejects)
