- --rng cpu, consistent with the comfyui RNG
Embedds generation parameters into png output as webui-compatible text string

Quick Start

Get the sd executable

Download pre-built binaries from the releases page
Or build from source by following the build guide

Download model weights

download weights(.ckpt or .safetensors or .gguf). For example
- Stable Diffusion v1.5 from https://huggingface.co/stable-diffusion-v1-5/stable-diffusion-v1-5
```
curl -L -O https://huggingface.co/runwayml/stable-diffusion-v1-5/resolve/main/v1-5-pruned-emaonly.safetensors
```

Generate an image with just one command

./bin/sd-cli -m ../models/v1-5-pruned-emaonly.safetensors -p "a lovely cat"

For detailed command-line arguments, check out cli doc.
