  • CLI tools at Aha!

    As we make updates to our ops and similar CLI utilities, we often improve the user experience by taking advantage of various Ruby gems. With little effort compared to low-level coding with curses, our command-line utilities that used to be cryptic and confusing are now interactive, easy to use, and — dare I say — elegant.

    First, a word of caution. "Updating" a terminal or console is possible, but it is rife with gotchas and inconsistencies. The go to library/application for this type of interfaces is Curses. There are Ruby bindings, but this injects a system dependency that may or may not be available on a given platform. Also, Curses is way overkill if all you're doing is output.
