freeze main.go \
  --font.family "SF Mono" \
  --font.size 16 \
  --line-height 1.4

# embed a font file (TTF, WOFF, WOFF2)
freeze main.go --font.file ./FiraCode.ttf

# background color
freeze main.go --background "#08163f"

Layout

# padding (1, 2, or 4 values)
freeze main.go --padding 20
freeze main.go --padding 20,40
freeze main.go --padding 20,60,20,40   # top right bottom left

# margin (same syntax)

freeze -c user main.go    # your saved config (~/.config/freeze/user.json)

# custom JSON config
freeze -c ./custom.json main.go
