wgs - wallpaper getter setter

Written in pure BASH, wgs is minimal, fast and requires no external dependencies outside of your supported wallpaper setter choice. wgs utilizes Unsplash's API to return random images based on optional queries. wgs can repeatedly download and set images, with common wallpaper setters, on a set interval. It can also be pushed to the background and disowned from the terminal (see below) to keep wgs alive, even upon closing the window
