giphycat - Giphy fun for iTerm2

OS X's iTerm2 terminal emulator supports inline images. Obviously, there has to be a Giphy command line client to properly take advantage of this:

Installation

giphycat requires either Python 2.7 or Python 3.5+ (and possibly earlier versions of Python 3, although they haven't been tested). Use pip to install it:

$ pip install giphycat

Usage

When run with no arguments, giphycat fetches a random image from Giphy and displays it in the terminal:

$ giphycat

Any other arguments are treated as a search phrase, and giphycat will return one of the images for that phrase at random:

$ giphycat boston terrier

$ giphycat creqcrqwrceqwrceqwrq
Unable to find any GIFs for 'creqcrqwrceqwrceqwrq'
