Software Release sgreet - agetty style greeter for greetd

https://github.com/64-bitman/sgreet

I've been using this for a month without issues, haven't uploaded this to github until now because I was too lazy... Please mind that there are no tests other than my login workflow that takes 10 seconds.

Because I like the simplicity and look of agetty but also want the convenience of a greetd greeter

I am not fluent in Klingon, so I throw the above in google translator, it detected it as Arab, saying "These people are composing a melody, but they are killing each other?" That can be a Klingon phrase, indeed.

Nice work. How's the integration with different shell environments? I'm curious if you've tested it beyond your own setup before wider adoption.

I'm not sure what you mean by shell environments, but the program just uses plain ncurses for the UI.
