or ...

• git clone <this repo>

Use.

$ gifit finds a random search result from Giphy and sends it to markdown format in your stdout, from which point you can behave as irresponsibly as you wish with said markdowned(default)/embeddable gif.

Why would I ever want that?

1. Put a gif in a commit message (you are markdowning your commit messages, right?):

$ git commit -m `gifit shipit`

2. Illustrate your manuscripts.

$ gifit squirrels spinning >> Senior_thesis_final_draft.md

3. Copy an embeddable/fancily/socially previewable url of a hilarious cats gif to your clipboard.

$ gifit -e cats in glue | pbcopy

4. Get rambunctuous with your Slack CLI.

$ slackcli -g professionalcolleagues -m "`gifit -e rat race`"

5. Just look at some beautiful stuff.

$ open -a Safari `gifit -e cat rainbow`
