Get it

Alternative 1: go get

go get -u github.com/sgreben/yeetgif/cmd/gif

Alternative 2: just download the binary

Either from the releases page, or from the shell:

# Linux
curl -L https://github.com/sgreben/yeetgif/releases/download/1.23.6/gif1.23.6linuxx8664.tar.gz | tar xz

OS X

curl -L https://github.com/sgreben/yeetgif/releases/download/1.23.6/gif1.23.6osxx8664.tar.gz | tar xz

Windows

curl -LO https://github.com/sgreben/yeetgif/releases/download/1.23.6/gif1.23.6windowsx8664.zip unzip gif1.23.6windowsx8664.zip

NOTE: To use the optimize command, you'll also need the giflossy fork of gifsicle installed:

brew install giflossy

You'll likely also want to have the binary in your $PATH. You can achieve this by adding this to your .bashrc (or .zshrc, ...):

export PATH=<directory-containing-the-gif-binary>:$PATH

Alternative 3: docker

docker pull quay.io/sergey_grebenshchikov/yeetgif
docker tag quay.io/sergey_grebenshchikov/yeetgif gif # (optional)

Use it

Conventions & tips

  • To find out how a given example was made, try running gif meta show on it (e.g. <yeet.gif gif meta show -p will print the shell pipe of gif effects used to create yeet.gif).
  • Use the --raw (-r) option for intermediate pipe steps -- this is faster than re-encoding as GIF every time. Also it's lossless.
  • Options with bracketed default values (e.g. --noise of fried) can take comma-separated values - the points will be spread over the animation length, with intermediate values linearly interpolated.
  • To figure out what a parameter does, try out some values around its default value, as well as much larger/smaller ones.
  • To reduce GIF size, try specifying a smaller number of duplicates for static images (e.g. gif -n 20), gif optimize, and dropping frames gif chop drop every <N>.
