# gping Plugin

Ping, but with a graph. Visual ping tool with real-time graph display for monitoring network latency and packet loss.

## Commands

### Network Monitoring
- `gping host ping` — Ping host with graph visualization

### Utility
- `gping _ _` — Passthrough to gping CLI

## Usage Examples
- "Ping with graph visualization"
- "Monitor network latency"
- "Track packet loss over time"
- "Ping multiple hosts simultaneously"

## Installation

```bash
brew install gping
```

Or via Cargo:
```bash
cargo install gping
```

## Examples

```bash
# Ping single host
gping host ping google.com

# Ping multiple hosts

# Any gping command with passthrough
gping _ _ google.com cloudflare.com
gping _ _ --interval 500ms --count 20 google.com
```
