Save and close the file, then register it in your plugin

kitt_bar_update

3 - Login

As this script needs to authenticate you on Kitt in order to retrieve your current tickets, it needs to access your Kitt session cookie. To do so, all you have to do is to login on Kitt with Mozilla Firefox. The script will then be able to retrieve your session cookie and store it in the config/settings.json file.

We're trying to make it work with Chrome, but chrome encrypts its cookies database and we haven't yet succeded in decrypting it, Brave/Safari/Opera are not supported yet. You are welcome to contribute to this feature.

4 - Enjoy

Run xbar and enjoy your new plugin
