    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.

    googler

    googler

    Google from the terminal

    googler is a power tool to Google (web, news, videos and site search) from the command line. It shows the title, URL and abstract for each result, which can be directly opened in a browser from the terminal. Results are fetched in pages (with page navigation). Supports sequential searches in a single googler instance. googler was initially written to cater to headless servers without X. You can integrate it with a text-based browser. However, it has grown into a very handy and flexible utility that delivers much more. For example, fetch any number of results or start anywhere, limit the search by any duration, define aliases to google search any number of websites, and switch domains easily, all of this in a very clean interface without ads or stray URLs. The shell completion scripts make sure you don't need to remember any options.

    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.

    Streamlink

    Streamlink

    Streamlink is a CLI utility which pipes video streams

    Streamlink is a command-line utility that pipes video streams from various services into a video player, such as VLC. The main purpose of Streamlink is to avoid resource-heavy and unoptimized websites, while still allowing the user to enjoy various streamed content. There is also an API available for developers who want access to the stream data. Streamlink is built upon a plugin system that allows support for new services to be easily added. Most of the big streaming services are supported. Streamlink is made up of two parts, a cli and a library API. See their respective sections for more information on how to use them. The default behavior of Streamlink is to playback streams in the VLC player. Please note that by using this application you're bypassing ads run by sites such as Twitch.tv. Please consider donating or paying for subscription services when they are available for the content you consume and enjoy.

    Deep Daze

    Deep Daze

    Simple command line tool for text to image generation

    Simple command-line tool for text to image generation using OpenAI's CLIP and Siren (Implicit neural representation network). In true deep learning fashion, more layers will yield better results. Default is at 16, but can be increased to 32 depending on your resources. Technique first devised and shared by Mario Klingemann, it allows you to prime the generator network with a starting image, before being steered towards the text. Simply specify the path to the image you wish to use, and optionally the number of initial training steps. We can also feed in an image as an optimization goal, instead of only priming the generator network. Deepdaze will then render its own interpretation of that image. The regular mode for texts only allows 77 tokens. If you want to visualize a full story/paragraph/song/poem, set create_story to True.

    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.

    EB CLI Installer

    EB CLI Installer

    Simplified EB CLI installation mechanism

    This repository hosts scripts to generate self-contained installations of the EB CLI. On Linux and macOS, the output contains instructions to add the EB CLI (and Python) executable file to the shell's $PATH variable, if it isn't already in it. The ebcli_installer.py Python script will install the awsebcli package in a virtual environment to prevent potential conflicts with other Python packages. Even within a virtualenv, a developer might need to install multiple packages whose dependencies are in conflict. For example, at times the AWS CLI and the EB CLI have used conflicting versions of botocore. One such instance was particularly egregious. When there are conflicts, users have to manage separate virtualenvs for each of the conflicting packages, or find a combination of the packages without conflicts.

    PathPicker

    PathPicker

    Accepts a wide range of input, output from git commands & grep results

    PathPicker accepts a wide range of input, output from git commands, grep results, searches, pretty much anything. After parsing the input, PathPicker presents you with a nice UI to select which files you're interested in. After that you can open them in your favorite editor or execute arbitrary commands. Facebook PathPicker is a simple command line tool that solves the perpetual problem of selecting files out of bash output. Bash is fully supported and works the best. ZSH is supported as well, but won't have a few features like alias expansion in command line mode. csh/fish/rc are supported in the latest version, but might have quirks or issues in older versions of PathPicker. Note: if your default shell and current shell is not in the same family (bash/zsh... v.s. fish/rc), you need to manually export environment variable $SHELL to your current shell.

    buku

    buku

    Personal mini-web in text

    buku is a powerful bookmark manager and a personal textual mini-web. For those who prefer the GUI, bukuserver exposes a browsable front-end on a local web host server. When I started writing it, I couldn't find a flexible command-line solution with a private, portable, merge-able database along with seamless GUI integration. Hence, buku. buku can import bookmarks from the browser(s) or fetch the title, tags and description of a URL from the web. Use your favorite editor to add, compose and update bookmarks. Search bookmarks instantly with multiple search options, including regex and a deep scan mode (handy with URLs). It can look up broken links on Wayback Machine. There's an Easter Egg to revisit random bookmarks. There's no tracking, hidden history, obsolete records, usage analytics or homing. To get started right away, jump to the Quickstart section. buku has one of the best documentation around. The man page comes with examples.
