Configuration File Support​

Tired of typing the same options over and over? Now you can set your defaults in a configuration file:

# ~/.gummywormrc
width=80
color=true
palette=blocks
background=#1a1b26

gummyworm looks for config files in this order:

  1. ./.gummywormrc (project-specific)
  2. ~/.gummywormrc (user defaults)
  3. ~/.config/gummyworm/config (XDG-compliant)

CLI arguments always override config file settings, so you have full flexibility.

Shell Completions​

Tab completion is now available for bash and zsh! Get suggestions for:

  • All CLI options and flags
  • Built-in palette names
  • Output format types
  • Image files in the current directory

If you installed via Homebrew, completions are set up automatically. Otherwise, source the completion script for your shell:

# Bash
source /path/to/gummyworm/completions/gummyworm.bash

# Zsh
source /path/to/gummyworm/completions/gummyworm.zsh

What's Next?​

This release focuses on developer experience, but we have more exciting features planned. Stay tuned for updates!

Full Changelog: v2.1.0...v2.2.0
