Charm – tools to make the command line glamorous

ttyd Wetty Hyper Lip Gloss lf (file manager)
  1. 1
    ttyd is a simple command-line tool for sharing terminal over the web.
    Ttyd is a nice little web terminal: https://github.com/tsl0922/ttyd Just small, fast, low fuss C-based executable. Wetty is another good option if you want to run a nodejs app: https://github.com/butlerx/wetty Both use xterm.js for the client terminal, which is these days the only game in town for a web terminal (it's what VS code and many other electron apps use too). It's quite good. Do be aware though that running a web-accessible terminal is a huge security headache. You're opening up a websocket to effectively allow commands and code to run on your server. Pay attention to security and authentication options any web terminal gives you, and use them. Most are not very secure out of the box or just following their readme examples.

  5. Terminal file manager written in Go (programming language).
    Sure, that's okay, it helps build TUIs rather than CLIs. I'll gladly take TUIs over their GUI counterparts in most cases except where it isn't practical such as image editing. A good example is the lf file manager. https://github.com/gokcehan/lf I was using ranger before this but yeah, I have no reason to use GUI file managers anymore.
