tmux is a terminal multiplexer: it enables a number of terminals to be created, accessed, and controlled from a single screen. tmux may be detached from a screen and continue running in the background, then later reattached. This release runs on OpenBSD, FreeBSD, NetBSD, Linux, OS X and Solaris. tmux depends on libevent 2.x, and on ncurses. To build tmux, a C compiler (for example gcc or clang), make, pkg-config and a suitable yacc (yacc or bison) are needed. Some platforms provide binary packages for tmux.

Thinstation is a thin client linux distro using std. x86 hw. It can boot from network, pxe, syslinux, CD, floppy or flash-disk and connect to servers using VNC, RDP, XDM, SSH, Telnet, tn5250, tarentella, 2X, NX, Thinlinc, VMWare VDI or ICA.

This project provides a proxy that allows telnet/tcp connections to be made to serial ports on a machine.

Termux is an Android terminal application and Linux environment. At first start a small base system is downloaded, desired packages can then be installed using the apt package manager known from the Debian and Ubuntu Linux distributions. Access the built-in help by long-pressing anywhere on the terminal and selecting the Help menu option to learn more. Allows the app to view information about network connections such as which networks exist and are connected. Allows the app to create network sockets and use custom network protocols. The browser and other applications provide means to send data to the internet, so this permission is not required to send data to the internet. Allows an app to ask for permission to ignore battery optimizations for that app. This app can appear on top of other apps or other parts of the screen. This may interfere with normal app usage and change the way that other apps appear.

Engineering, testing and debugging of serial communication. Supports RS-232/422/423/485 as well as TCP/IP Client/Server/AutoSocket, UDP/IP Client/Server/PairSocket and USB Ser/HID. Optimized for simple command sets of e.g. embedded systems.

Terminus is a highly configurable terminal emulator for Windows, macOS and Linux. Features an integrated SSH client and connection manager. Provides theming and color schemes, fully configurable shortcuts, and split panes. Remembers your tabs. With PowerShell (and PS Core), WSL, Git-Bash, Cygwin, Cmder and CMD support. Enables direct file transfer from/to SSH sessions via Zmodem. Full Unicode support including double-width characters. Terminus doesn't choke on fast-flowing outputs. Allows proper shell experience on Windows including tab completion (via Clink). Terminus is an alternative to Windows' standard terminal (conhost), PowerShell ISE, PuTTY or iTerm. Terminus is not a new shell or a MinGW or Cygwin replacement. Neither is it lightweight - if RAM usage is of importance, consider Conemu or Alacritty.

fzf is a general-purpose command-line fuzzy finder. It's an interactive Unix filter for command-line that can be used with any list; files, command history, processes, hostnames, bookmarks, git commits, etc. fzf will launch an interactive finder, read the list from STDIN, and write the selected item to STDOUT. Without STDIN pipe, fzf will use find command to fetch the list of files excluding hidden ones. (You can override the default command with FZF_DEFAULT_COMMAND). fzf by default starts in fullscreen mode, but you can make it start below the cursor with the height option. Unless otherwise specified, fzf starts in "extended-search mode" where you can type in multiple search terms delimited by spaces. Fuzzy completion for files and directories can be triggered if the word before the cursor ends with the trigger sequence, which is by default **. Fuzzy completion for PIDs is provided for the kill command. In this case, there is no trigger sequence.

Alacritty is the fastest open source terminal emulator there is. How is it the fastest? With such a strong focus on simplicity and performance, Alacritty’s included features are very carefully considered, ensuring that it remains blazingly fast. It’s got a GPU for rendering that makes a whole lot of optimizations possible. In various benchmarked terminals, Alacritty has shown to be either faster, or way faster than others. Alacritty requires no additional setup, but still allows configuration of many aspects of the terminal. It supports Windows, macOS, Linux and BSD.

The Vault Swiss Army knife, which makes enterprise-grade security attainable on Kubernetes. It has many 'blades' that cut through the security problem: the Bank-Vaults operator provides automation; a Go client with automatic token renewal that provides dynamic secret generation, multiple unseal options, and more; a CLI tool to initialize, unseal and configure Vault with authentication methods and secret engines; and direct secret injection into Pods to reduce the attack surface. Automates the entire Vault lifecycle in your Kubernetes clusters. Provides seamless integration with non-Vault-aware applications without storing the decrypted secret anywhere. Vault is the de-facto standard for secret management in cloud-native environments. Bank-Vaults provides various tools for Hashicorp Vault to make its use easier. A wrapper for the official Vault client with automatic token renewal, built in Kubernetes support, and a dynamic database credential provider.

Merlin is an editor service that provides modern IDE features for OCaml. Emacs and Vim support is provided out-of-the-box. Since version 4.0, merlin's repository has a dedicated branch per version of OCaml, and the branch name consist of the concatenation of OCaml major version and minor version. So, for instance, OCaml 4.11.* maps to branch 411. The main branch is usually synchronized with the branch compatible with the latest (almost-)released version of OCaml. Note: if you're using an older version of OCaml (between 4.02 and 4.10) you will want to build the 3.4 branch, although it won't contain the most recent features. If you want to work on merlin, you'll want to avoid the -p merlin, to build in dev mode, with some extra warnings enabled. In that case you'll also need an extra dependency.

Cmder is a lovely portable console emulator package for Windows. It was built out of sheer frustration due to the lack of nice console emulators on Windows. It is based on the amazing ConEmu, with major config overhaul, enhancements from Clink, Monokai color scheme and a custom prompt layout. Overall, it's got a very pleasant user interface that's much improved from ConEmu. The biggest advantage with cmder is that it is portable. It was designed to be totally self-contained, totally free of external dependencies. This makes it perfect for USB Sticks or cloud storage, so you can have your settings, aliases, binaries and history wherever you go.

ConEmu-Maximus5 aims to be handy, comprehensive, fast and reliable terminal window where you may host any console application developed either for WinAPI (cmd, powershell, far) or Unix PTY (cygwin, msys, wsl bash). As Windows console window enhancement (local terminal emulator), it presents multiple consoles and simple GUI applications as one customizable tabbed GUI window with various features. Also, due to deep integration, ConEmu is the best companion for Far Manager, my favorite shell replacement. Disclaimer. ConEmu is not a shell, so it does not provide "shell features" like tab-completion, command history and others. But you can run any shell or remote access client of your choice in ConEmu! Try Clink for bash-style completion in cmd.exe and PSReadLine or PowerTab in powershell.exe. Or just run Bash from your favourite distro. Also, ConEmu does not provide remote access (SSH/Telnet/...) too, just use your remote client (ssh.exe, telnet.exe) instead.
