WebTTY is a terminal-sharing tool that lets a user share an interactive shell session over WebRTC. It is useful for pair programming, collaborative debugging, remote help, or accessing systems behind NAT without setting up a traditional proxy server. The project includes a command-line workflow and an in-browser client, so a session can be joined through a static web page when needed. It supports custom commands, allowing users to share a shell, a tmux session, or another terminal-based process. The tool also includes non-interactive and one-way connection options for specialized workflows such as attaching to a build server session. webtty is experimental but practical, combining Go, WebRTC, and browser-based terminal access into a lightweight collaboration tool.
