Hello,

It would be really nice if we had a binary to view dotfiles directly.
Theoretically we should be able to do this with dotty, but in my
experience dotty is really broken (e.g. does not display labels).

Right now I am using a helper script called `dotview` that goes like
this, but of course something that is released in the wild has to be a
lot more robust:

----------------8<----------------8<----------------8<-----------------
#!/bin/sh

set -ex

image=$(mktemp --tmpdir XXXXXXXXXX.png)

dot -Tpng -o"$image" "$@"

xdg-open "$image"
----------------8<----------------8<----------------8<-----------------
