Usage

Link dump and restore scripts to bin:

ln -s /home/<user>/kitty-save-session/kitty-restore.sh .local/bin/kitty-restore

Modify kitty.desktop to use single instance (this allows kitty-restore && exit)

# Dump the current kitty session:
kitty-dump
# Restore the session (and exit current kitty):
kitty-restore && exit
