greentext

The GreenText Generator CLI is a command-line tool built with Go that lets you create classic greentext with ease.

• Thumbnail Support: Add an image to your greentext, or don't if you're feeling minimalist.
• Support for External Thumbnails: Use image URLs as thumbnails for your greentext.
• Customizable Colors: Set background and text colors using HEX codes.
• Dynamic Font Options: Choose your preferred font and size.
