kitty: Display an image in the terminal.
$ kitty +kitten icat ${path-to-image}
try on your machine

This command seems to be using the "kitty" terminal emulator to display an image file. Let's break it down:

  • "kitty" is the name of the terminal emulator being used.
  • "+kitten" is a flag or option specific to the "kitty" terminal emulator. It typically enables additional features or behaviors.
  • "icat" is a command provided by "kitty" specifically used for displaying images in the terminal.
  • "${path-to-image}" represents the path or location of the image file on the computer.

So, when you run this command in the terminal, it will use the "kitty" terminal emulator to display the image located at the specified path.
