rubberducky is a command line tool that allows you to have a rubber duck quickly available to you any time you're feeling stuck solving a problem.

Usage

$ npm install -g rubberducky
$ rubberducky

Commands

rubberducky has a few commands that it will respond to:

• exit - exit the program
• restart - start over with a clean slate
• interactive - start interactive mode (this can also be enabled on the command line with the --interactive flag)
• noninteractive - end interactive mode
• help - show information about rubberducky, including possible commands and links to more information

Interactive mode

rubberducky includes an interactive mode for times when you'd rather not speak out loud to your computer. In interactive mode, the duck will ask you the following questions:

• Do you mind explaining the problem you're trying to solve?
• And can you explain how you're trying to solve that problem?
