What projects are out there seeking to innovate in the terminal and command line space, and improve or revolutionize the terminal environment?

  • NuShell is one such example, a shell that uses structured data in its pipelines. Many other experimental shells out there innovating in different spaces.
  • An even more daring example is DomTerm. It’s a terminal emulator with more rich rendering. Supports rich text, images, etc while maintaining xterm compatibility.

Please do not shy from answering projects that are very experimental, early stage, break a lot of backwards compatibility or radically change the current way of doing things.

    Zellij - a better way for a cli application to communicate with the terminal

    Warp - a terminal emulater that integrates LLM completion natively

    Fish - a shell that generates completions automatically from a man-page

      Thanks for the answer!

      Warp has really cool features (seems to be beyond LLM?), but what kept me from trying is that its not open source, and seems to have anti privacy features, and VC-funded. It is still a very tempting product, so maybe I will try it.

      Zellij seems interesting. I’ll check that out!

      Need to check Zellij.
      On desktop I use Kitty multiple windows on dual monitor with layouts, ditch tmux for kitty.

      But i still use tmux on server with tmuxinator to create layouts, Zellij looks to be a good replacement
