tl;dr: terminal image displayer that’s a shameless re-write of icat for Ruby
So you want to see an image, but don’t wanna leave your precious command-line?
jp2a makes you sad...
img2txt is just weird...
There is a better way!
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'ruby-blocky-image-viewer'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install ruby-blocky-image-viewer
If you just wanna view an image checkout:
$ biv --help
Otherwise have a look at the source code, especially Biv::Viewer:
puts Biv::Viewer.new(“my-image.png”).to_s
git checkout -b my-new-feature)git commit -am 'Add some feature')git push origin my-new-feature)FAQs
