gifsicle: Extract a frame from a GIF.

gifsicle

$ gifsicle ${path-to-input-gif} '#${0}' > ${path-to-firstframe-gif}

try on your machine

This command is using the "gifsicle" command-line tool to extract the first frame from a GIF file.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

${path-to-input-gif}: This is a placeholder for the path to the input GIF file. You need to replace it with the actual path to the GIF file you want to extract the first frame from.
'#${0}': This part of the command specifies the frame(s) that should be extracted. In this case, it is set to extract the first frame using the ${0} syntax. The # symbol is used to specify the frame number.
>: This is a redirection operator that redirects the output of the command.
${path-to-firstframe-gif}: This is a placeholder for the path where the extracted first frame should be saved. You need to replace it with the actual path where you want to save the first frame of the GIF.

So basically, when you run this command with the appropriate paths, it will use gifsicle to extract the first frame of the GIF specified by ${path-to-input-gif} and save it to the file specified by ${path-to-firstframe-gif}.
