Frequently asked questions
Is bison ASCII art suitable for a GitHub README file?
Yes, it can add a unique visual element to a README, especially for projects with a rugged or nature-inspired theme. The large size makes a good header.
How do I ensure the humped silhouette is clear on different platforms?
Always paste the art into a context that uses a monospace font. This preserves the spacing and ensures the bison's distinct silhouette, especially its hump, remains clear.
