okay so welcome to the wego(1) manual page, bestie 💖 this is your ticket to weather in the terminal and honestly? it's giving main character energy 🌈

🦋 NAME 🦋

wego — display the weather in your terminal ✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

wego [options...] [argument...]

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

wego is a weather client for the terminal that shows the current and forecasted weather conditions using various backends 🌦️ like it just works.

Configuration lives in a config file (default: ~/.wegorc) and you can also hand it over via command-line flags 🫶 either is fine, no judgment.

⚠️ heads up bestie: a backend API key is required for most backends 🔑 no key, no weather, iykyk.

🌸 CONFIGURATION 🌸

wego stores its configuration in ~/.wegorc by default 🏠 the config file gets created on the first run, pre-filled with default values, so you literally can't mess it up on day one 🌱

Every flag listed below corresponds to a config file key 🔑 and command-line flags take precedence over config file values — flags win, periodt 👑
