    Terminator

    Terminator

    multiple GNOME terminals in one window

    Terminator was originally developed by Chris Jones in 2007 as a simple, 300-ish line Python script. Since then, it has become The Robot Future of Terminals. Originally inspired by projects like quadkonsole and gnome-multi-term and more recently by projects like Iterm2, and Tilix, It lets you combine and recombine terminals to suit the style you like. If you live at the command line or are logged into 10 different remote machines at once, you should definitely try out Terminator.

    iTerm2 Color Schemes

    iTerm2 Color Schemes

    Over 425 terminal color schemes/themes for iTerm/iTerm2

    This project curates a large collection of terminal color schemes and makes them available in formats for many terminal emulators, not just iTerm2. You’ll find well-known palettes like Solarized, Dracula, Nord, and hundreds more, each with previews that showcase how code, prompts, and text look under the theme. The repository includes export files for multiple terminals—such as iTerm2, Apple Terminal, Alacritty, Kitty, Windows Terminal, and others—so you can apply the same aesthetic consistently across machines. There are helper tools and conversion scripts to generate or translate schemes, plus instructions for importing them on each supported terminal. Because it’s community-driven, new schemes and updates are added regularly, and issues often include tweaks to improve readability or contrast for different use cases.

    JC

    JC

    CLI tool and python library

    CLI tool and python library that converts the output of popular command-line tools and file types to JSON or Dictionaries. This allows piping of output to tools like jq and simplifying automation scripts. jc JSONifies the output of many CLI tools and file types for easier parsing in scripts. This allows further command-line processing of output with tools like jq or jello by piping commands. The JC parsers can also be used as python modules. In this case, the output will be a python dictionary, or a list of dictionaries, instead of JSON. Two representations of the data are available. The default representation uses a strict schema per parser and converts known numbers to int/float JSON values. Certain known values of None are converted to JSON null, known boolean values are converted, and, in some cases, additional semantic context fields are added.

    SAWS

    SAWS

    A supercharged AWS command line interface (CLI)

    Although the AWS CLI is a great resource to manage your AWS-powered services, it's tough to remember the usage of 70+ top-level commands, 2000+ subcommand, countless command-specific options, and resources such as instance tags and buckets. SAWS aims to supercharge the AWS CLI with features focusing on improving ease-of-use, and increasing productivity. Under the hood, SAWS is powered by the AWS CLI and supports the same commands and command structure. In addition to the default commands, subcommands, and options the AWS CLI provides, SAWS supports auto-completion of your AWS resources. Currently, bucket names, instance ids, and instance tags are included, with additional support for more resources under development. Sometimes you're not quite sure what specific command/subcommand/option combination you need to use. In such cases, browsing through several combinations with the help command line is cumbersome versus browsing the online AWS CLI docs through a web browser.

    Typer

    Typer

    Typer, build great CLIs, based on Python type hints

    Typer is a library for building CLI applications that users will love using and developers will love creating. Based on Python 3.6+ type hints. Great editor support. Completion everywhere. Less time debugging. Designed to be easy to use and learn. Less time reading docs. It's easy to use for the final users. Automatic help, and automatic completion for all shells. Minimize code duplication. Multiple features from each parameter declaration. Fewer bugs. The simplest example adds only 2 lines of code to your app: 1 import, 1 function call. Grow in complexity as much as you want, create arbitrarily complex trees of commands and groups of subcommands, with options and arguments. And it's intended to be the FastAPI of CLIs. Typer stands on the shoulders of a giant. Its only internal dependency is Click.

    aws-encryption-sdk-cli

    aws-encryption-sdk-cli

    CLI wrapper around aws-encryption-sdk-python

    This command line tool can be used to encrypt and decrypt files and directories using the AWS Encryption SDK. If you have not already installed cryptography, you might need to install additional prerequisites as detailed in the cryptography installation guide for your operating system. Installation using a python virtual environment is recommended to avoid conflicts between system packages and user-installed packages. For the most part, the behavior of aws-encryption-cli in handling files is based on that of GNU CLIs such as cp. A qualifier to this is that when encrypting a file, if a directory is provided as the destination, rather than creating the source filename in the destination directory, a suffix is appended to the destination filename. By default the suffix is .encrypted when encrypting and .decrypted when decrypting, but a custom suffix can be provided by the caller if desired.
