kitty

kitty is a cross-platform terminal emulator that uses the GPU for rendering, aiming to be fast and feature-rich for people who spend most of their time in the terminal. The project is hosted on GitHub under kovidgoyal/kitty and has its own website at sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty, which serves as the primary documentation and reference point. The README is intentionally brief and points readers to external resources rather than describing features in detail. It links to a FAQ page for common questions, GitHub Discussions for usage questions, and a Reddit community (r/KittyTerminal) as an additional place to ask about kitty usage. A CI build status badge is included, and a Repology badge shows packaging status across various software repositories, indicating the project is packaged in multiple distributions. Beyond the README, the project is known for GPU-based rendering, cross-platform support, and a broad feature set, though specific capabilities are documented on the project website rather than in the repository README itself.
