=== I get errors about the terminal being unknown or opening the terminal failing when SSHing into a different computer?
This happens because the kitty terminfo files are not available on the server.
If you have python installed on the server, you can ssh in using the following
command which will automatically copy the terminfo files over.
You can ssh in using the following command which will automatically copy the

kitty +kitten ssh server_name
kitty +kitten ssh myserver

Alternatively, you can use the following one-liner which does not require python

In the meantime, you can automate it by using a simple script called, for example,
`~/bin/myssh`
....
#!/bin/sh
infocmp xterm-kitty | ssh $1 tic -x -o \~/.terminfo /dev/stdin && ssh $1

Then you can use `myssh server` to log in to `server` with the terminfo file
being automatically available.
