Summary

  • Replaces the external imgur-hosted hero screenshot (http://i.imgur.com/g1nNf0I.png) with a self-hosted animated GIF at images/hero.gif.
  • The imgur link is a linkrot liability — if the asset is purged, the README breaks silently. Committing the hero into the repo removes the external dependency.
  • The new hero shows a realistic cmder session in the Monokai palette: a portable %CMDER_ROOT%, a git log, then four rotating prompts demonstrating the bundled unix tools (curl, where), clink readline (clink --version), and git (git pull). 1200×500, 135 KB, 10 s loop.

Preview: once this branch is pushed, GitHub renders ./images/hero.gif inline in the README at the same spot the imgur screenshot used to sit.

Test plan

  • Diff renders correctly on GitHub (README image swap)
  • images/hero.gif loads at the README path (check on the PR view)
  • No other files touched (only README.md + the new image)

The previous hero was a static PNG hosted on imgur
(http://i.imgur.com/g1nNf0I.png). External image hosts are a linkrot
liability — if imgur purges the asset the README breaks silently.

This commit adds images/hero.gif (1200x500, 135 KB) and updates the
README to reference the local path. The animation shows a realistic
cmder session in the Monokai palette: portable %CMDER_ROOT%, git log,
then four rotating prompts that showcase the bundled unix tools and
clink readline integration.
