Command Line Cookbook #

Use free command line tools to accomplish tasks, easily

Use cases #

  1. Learn about how to use a command line interface with interactive tutorials
  2. Install stuff with homebrew
  3. Download a video with yt-dlp
  4. Create icons from images with graphicsmagick
  5. Create gifs with gifski

How to download #

Download the appropriate installer by clicking on the file name from the Releases page. Currently only macOS on Apple Silicon is supported, but Windows will be soon.

Developing #

  1. Install rust and Tauri prerequisites
  2. Install node (I recommend NVM) and pnpm
  3. pnpm i in the repo root
  4. pnpm tauri dev

Important folders #

  • /src - the react UI
  • /src-tauri - the rust backend, mostly handles PTY stuff
  • /content - tutorial markdowns and recipe jsons. They're bundled into the frontend by Vite, so edits hot-reload in pnpm tauri dev (and work in plain pnpm dev too)

Prior art #
