shell . --login

[m-delc]

Endeavour OS.

I need to run kitty with --login. Searching kitty.conf for login makes this seem easy enough to accomplish but whatever I type into the config makes kitty crash. I've tried

shell . --login
shell /usr/bin/kitty --login
shell /bin/kitty --login

None of these work, and so I'm out of ideas. How can I accomplish this?

kitty is not a shell, but a terminal emulator.

I need to run kitty with --login. ...

What you really need is to provide the --login option when running the shell as a command line program in kitty.

You should configure the option for the shell you are using, for example shell /usr/local/bin/bash -l.
