givegif

The tool lets users search for and display animated GIFs directly from a terminal session. It supports searching by keyword, translating a phrase into a GIF, or selecting a random tag, and can render the animation inline when used in iTerm 2.9 or newer; otherwise it can suppress the preview. Command‑line options include help, version, and a flag to disable inline rendering.

It is distributed as a stable, core CLI package and can be installed via Homebrew, precompiled binaries, or built from source with Stack. The program relies on the Giphy API for its GIF content.

Intended for developers or power users who spend most of their time in a shell, it provides a quick way to fetch visual media without leaving the command line, while noting occasional display glitches in multiplexed environments such as screen or tmux.
