Anyone knows if I can start fastfetch with kitty terminal without adding it to my zshrc?

@raccoon yea , chexk out the kitty config , its VERY extwnsive and has lots n lots of comments on every option explaining how they work

@raccoon or just do a .zshrc with

if [ $TERM=kitty ]; then fastfetch; fi

@lucy@netzsphaere.xyz
A winner is you!

@fiore@brain.worm.pink
This doesn't work for me because it still starts fastfetch when I start tmux which is what I wanted to avoid

@fiore@brain.worm.pink
I did and the things I could try from reading it didn;t work :(

@raccoon @lucy bwaaa

@raccoon it shouldnt ? tmuz exports its own $TERM=tmux

@fiore@brain.worm.pink
I dunno what do say :(

@raccoon dw haha , its just kinda weird . @lucy do u know anything abt this am i wronf

@rose @raccoon oh yea lol i never remwmbwr test syntax

@rose @raccoon wait no isnt that bash specific . arwnt double [[ non-standard ?

@raccoon @fiore Idea:

if test "$(cat /proc/$PPID/cmdline | (read -d '' parent; printf '%s' "$parent"))" = xfce4-terminal; then
  neofetch
fi

this will check who is the parent of the shell and only execute the command if it’s the terminal emulator in question

replace xfce4-terminal with kitty (i use the former) and neofetch with fastfetch (i’m stuck in the stone age)

@kimapr @raccoon ohh thats pretty cool

@fiore @raccoon i think U need spaces there between =

@kimapr @raccoon oh yea

@rose @fiore @raccoon but why use [[ when [ should work here exactly the same (just needs the spaces as i mentioned in Other reply)

@kimapr @raccoon @rose yea i avoid [[ because its never useful to my usecases and id rather keep my scripts posix

@lucy @raccoon oh yea thats definitwly it

@fiore @raccoon @rose the only novel thing compared to [ it adds is regex .. everything else can be done by just combining multiple invocations of [ with the usual shell operators

and if u need regex u can use grep instead, it’s gonna be considerably slower but if your writing shell your not writing 4 speed anyway

@kimapr @raccoon @rose yea exactly my thought haha

@fiore @raccoon @kimapr you can also make your terminal set its own environment variable so you can make execution conditional in your shell rc based on that variable

@fiore @raccoon @kimapr or, make tmux set one, and inhibit fastfetch if it’s set

@lucy@netzsphaere.xyz @eris@p.enes.lv
I must confess, I'm a bit puzzled too.

@mia @fiore @raccoon tmux does set one, fiore’s suggestion only didn’t work because she forgot spaces

@eris@p.enes.lv @lucy@netzsphaere.xyz
Lucy be like: yeah have this elegant, simple solution I just threw together without even needing to test it because I'm THAT talented

@kimapr @raccoon @mia yes :P i know it works because i do that with both tmux and nvim !! im just bad at test syntax

@fiore @raccoon @mia wait U use the nvim terminal? what the sigma

@kimapr @raccoon @mia i stopped , nowadays i just use a tmux split . but yea i used to , having vim binds for navigation ina termjnal is VERY nice , i miss it everywhere else

@lucy@netzsphaere.xyz @eris@p.enes.lv
Lucy if I could hire you I would hire you for just existing because you're doing us all a favor for being around
