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"
}
