GTI(6)

🚗✨ GTI ✨🚗

okay bestie, you're in the Games Manual section, section 6, and this page is all about gti — the iconique little typo-catcher that drives a car across your terminal. no cap.

🌸 NAME 🌸

gti — a humorous typo-based git runner that literally drives a car over your terminal. yes fr. that's the whole job. 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea: gti exists to catch you when your fingers type gti instead of git. we've all been there, no shame. 🙈

when that happens, gti displays an animation of a car driving by, and then launches git. main character entrance, honestly. 👑

and the best part? any parameters or arguments you hand to gti get passed straight through to git. nothing gets lost, everything gets forwarded, periodt. 🫶

the car image is derived from the look of an old VW Golf GTI. vintage. iconic. very much a vibe. 🎀

💜 ENVIRONMENT 💜

• GIT — gti respects the $GIT environment variable, bestie. if GIT is set, its value gets used to launch git after the animation finishes, instead of searching for git in your PATH. so you can point it wherever you want. slay. ✨
• GTI_SPEED — if $GTI_SPEED is set to a parsable integer, its value controls the speed of the animation. go fast, go slow, go whatever. 🔥

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

• git(1)
• sl(6)
