kitget

Display and customize cat images in your terminal 😼

Usage

Fastfetch integration

You can use kitget directly with Fastfetch:

kitget --square | fastfetch --file-raw -

This might not work on terminals supporting images. Example Bash function (to use in your ~/.bashrc) for Kitty:

ff() {
    stamp="$(date +%s)"
    kitget --square -o "/tmp/kitget-$stamp"
    clear
    fastfetch --kitty "/tmp/kitget-$stamp" "$@"
    rm -f "/tmp/kitget-$stamp"
}

Nix

Nixpkgs

kitget is available in Nixpkgs. It can be installed using a variety of methods documented in NixOS Search.

Flakes

There is also a flake available. You can run it directly with:

or install it by adding the following to your flake inputs:

inputs.kitget.url = "github:adamperkowski/kitget";

Keep in mind that crates installed with cargo install have to be manually upgraded and may not be included in $PATH by default.
