Kerbal Maker Bash Script

[cantab]

This is just a dead simple bash script. It takes a file of first names and spits out roster entries that you can copy and paste into your persistence file. Good if you want to make a whole bunch of custom-named Kerbals at once, rather than having to make them one at a time in Crew Manifest or similar.

# needs bash obviously. if you're on windows try cygwin to get it
# noobish coding here but it works
# takes one command line argument, the path to a file with the first names. plain text file, one name per line
# outputs to stdout, redirect to a file if you want
# you might want to do duplicate checking somehow
