### Fastfetch integration
You can use kitget directly with Fastfetch:
```bash
kitget --square | fastfetch --file-raw -
```
This might not work on terminals supporting images. Example Bash function (to use in your `~/.bashrc`) for Kitty:
```bash
ff() {
stamp="$(date +%s)"
kitget --square -o "/tmp/kitget-$stamp"
clear
fastfetch --kitty "/tmp/kitget-$stamp" "$@"
rm -f "/tmp/kitget-$stamp"
}
```
## Installation
Arch Linux
[kitget](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/kitget) is available in the AUR.
It can be installed using an AUR helper (e.g. paru):
```bash
paru -S kitget
```
Cargo
For all systems supported by Rust, you can install kitget using Cargo:
```bash
cargo install kitget
```
Keep in mind that crates installed with `cargo install` have to be manually upgraded and may not be included in `$PATH` by default.
