Tweety - An Integrated Terminal for your Browser

Minimize your context switching by interacting with your terminal directly from your browser.

Features

Installation

Tweety is available on macOS, Linux.

# Homebrew (recommended)
brew install pomdtr/tap/tweety

or download a binary from releases.

If you want to compile it yourself, you can use the following command:

git clone https://github.com/pomdtr/tweety
cd tweety
make install

Usage

tweety <script-path>

By default, tweety will start on port 9999, so you can access it at http://localhost:9999.

You can use the --host and --port flags to change the host and port:

tweety --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8080 <script-path>

Any path or query parameter will be passed as arguments to the script.

• http://localhost:9999/ssh/example.com will run the command <script-path> ssh example.com
• http://localhost:9999/nvim?file=/home/pomdtr/.zshrc will run the command <script-path> nvim --file=/home/pomdtr/.zshrc

Make sure to properly parse and validate params in your entrypoint script.

Example entrypoint

#!/usr/bin/env -S deno run -A

import { program } from 'npm:@commander-js/extra-typings'

async function runCommand(command: string, args?: string[]): Promise<number> {
    const cmd = new Deno.Command(command, { args });
    const process = cmd.spawn();
    const status = await process.status;
    return status.code
}

// url: http://localhost:9999/
program.name("tweety").action(async () => {
    Deno.exitCode = await runCommand("fish")
})

// url: http://localhost:9999/htop
program.command("htop").action(async () => {
    Deno.exitCode = await runCommand("htop");
})

// url: http://localhost:9999/ssh/example.com
program.command("ssh").argument("<host>").action(async (host: string) => {
    Deno.exitCode = await runCommand("ssh", [host]);
})

// url: http://localhost:9999/nvim?file=/path/to/file
program.command("edit").option("-f, --file <file>", "File to open in editor").action(async (options) => {
    Deno.exitCode = await runCommand("nvim", options.file ? [options.file] : []);
})

if (import.meta.main) {
    await program.parseAsync();
}
