Top 23 Rust Terminal Projects

  • alacritty

    A cross-platform, OpenGL terminal emulator.

  • Project mention: Terminal Latency | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-19

    It's opinionated, which comes with upsides and downsides. I won't blame the maintainer to keep things focused, feature creep (even for worthy features) can kill a FOSS project.

    Another example is sixel support, there's a fork where it all works but is not sufficiently "proven" (code quality just as well as sixel being the best fit for the problem)

    https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty/pull/4763#issuecommen...

    It may be annoying but I get the reasoning, and there are other terminals.

  • bat

    A cat(1) clone with wings.

  • Project mention: Hired: A Modern Take on 'Ed' | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-02-13

    That’s the same as bat:[1] one of the features is syntax highlighting. Kind of unexpected to find a concatenation program… which also does that.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • fd

    A simple, fast and user-friendly alternative to 'find'

  • Project mention: Level Up Your Dev Workflow: Conquer Web Development with a Blazing Fast Neovim Setup (Part 1) | dev.to | 2024-03-16

    ripgrep: A super-fast file searcher. You can install it using your system's package manager (e.g., brew install ripgrep on macOS). fd: Another blazing-fast file finder. Installation instructions can be found here: https://github.com/sharkdp/fd

  • fish-shell

    The user-friendly command line shell.

  • Project mention: FAQ on the xz-utils backdoor – via a project dev | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-29

    Reminds of the note at the bottom of Fish's releases. It's there because the build system cannot determine the current version for some reason. Hopefully that will go away now that they have switched to a different language / build system. The custom tarball is used by Arch Linux at the very least.

  • hyperfine

    A command-line benchmarking tool

  • Project mention: Measuring startup and shutdown overhead of several code interpreters | dev.to | 2024-04-17

    Check out the official hyperfine Github repo

  • zellij

    A terminal workspace with batteries included

  • Project mention: Easy Access to Terminal Commands in Neovim using FTerm | dev.to | 2024-03-18

    Having a common set of tools already set up in different windows or sessions in Tmux or Zellij is obviously an option, but there is a subset of us ( 👋 ) that would rather just have fingertip access to our common tools inside of our editor.

  • gitui

    Blazing 💥 fast terminal-ui for git written in rust 🦀

  • Project mention: GitUI | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-07

    I was missing interactive rebase, as it is missing from libgit2

    https://github.com/extrawurst/gitui/issues/32

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • spotify-tui

    Spotify for the terminal written in Rust 🚀

  • Project mention: Tell HN: My Favorite Tools | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-12-24
    Project mention: Show HN: TBMK – A Commands Bookmark for Terminal | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-12-26

    I've built something similar for myself (fzf+a bit of shell). But I realized that fzf's history view (with very long history buffer) works much better for my use case.

    I still needed something to cover rare commands with dynamic arguments. That got covered by Navi: https://github.com/denisidoro/navi (takes more friction to add new command than with TBMK, but you get much more organized and easier to search tool).

  • carbonyl

    Chromium running inside your terminal

  • Project mention: Show HN: Consol3 – A 3D engine in the terminal that executes on the CPU | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-02-23

    supports WebGL over SSH/MoSH

    https://www.brow.sh/docs/introduction/ :

    > The terminal client updates and renders in realtime so that, for instance, you can watch videos. It uses the UTF-8 half-block trick () to get 2 colours from every character cell, thus simulating basic graphics.

    https://github.com/fathyb/carbonyl :

    > Carbonyl originally started as html2svg and is now the runtime behind it.

    Always wondered how brew.sh added the brew sprite there; that's real nice.

    TIL that e.g. Kitty term can basically framebuffer modified Chrome?

    https://github.com/chase/awrit :

    > Yep, actual Chromium being rendered in your favorite terminal that supports the Kitty terminal graphics protocol.

    FWIW Cloudflare has clientless Remote Browser Isolation that also splits the browser at the rendering engine.

    A TUI Manim renderer would be neat. Re: Teaching math with Manim and interactive 3d: https://github.com/bernhard-42/jupyter-cadquery/issues/99

    What would you add to make it easier to teach with this entirely CPU + software rendering codebase?

    What prompts for learning would you suggest?

    - Pixar in a Box, Wikipedia history of CG industry: https://westurner.github.io/hnlog/#comment-36265807

    - "Rotate a wireframe cube or the camera perspective with just 2d pixels to paint to; And then rotate the cube about a point other than the origin, and then move the camera while the cube is rotating"

    - OTOH, ManimML, Yellowbrick, and the ThreeJS Wave/Particle simulator might be neat with a slow terminal framebuffer too

  • wezterm

    A GPU-accelerated cross-platform terminal emulator and multiplexer written by @wez and implemented in Rust

  • Project mention: Level Up Your Dev Workflow: Conquer Web Development with a Blazing Fast Neovim Setup (Part 1) | dev.to | 2024-03-16

    wezterm (Linux, Macos & Windows)

  • asciinema

    Terminal session recorder 📹

  • Project mention: Asciinema 3.0 will be rewritten in Rust | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-02-07

    Incorrect link. Just goes to the list of open requests.

    Here is a ticket which mentor the rust rewrite, perhaps this was what was intended: https://github.com/asciinema/asciinema/pull/579

  • bottom

    Yet another cross-platform graphical process/system monitor.

  • Project mention: Nvtop: Linux Task Monitor for Nvidia, AMD and Intel GPUs | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-12
  • ratatui

    Rust library that's all about cooking up terminal user interfaces (TUIs) 👨‍🍳🐀

  • Project mention: Fast memory vulnerabilities, written in 100% safe Rust | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-02-20

    > If someone plopped me in front of a rust codebase I'd be at the mercy of the manual for quite a long time.

    This is not a representative sample of Rust. That's explicitly triggering edge cases which requires abuse of syntax you wouldn't normally see.

    Check out this for something more realistic that anyone should understand https://github.com/ratatui-org/ratatui/blob/main/examples/ca...

  • eza

    A modern, maintained replacement for ls

  • ht

    Friendly and fast tool for sending HTTP requests

  • Project mention: Curl is now a CVE Numbering Authority | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-18

    No need to use curl, make HTTP requests great again with https://github.com/ducaale/xh

  • Cursive

    A Text User Interface library for the Rust programming language

  • Project mention: Projectable: A TUI file manager built for projects | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-06-25

    Rust has great libraries for TUIs. tui-rs (https://github.com/fdehau/tui-rs) has been used in numerous popular applications, but is unmaintained. ratatui (https://github.com/tui-rs-revival/ratatui) is the maintained version, and is pretty new. Less widely known is cursive (https://github.com/gyscos/cursive), which I have yet to try.

    Aside from the libraries, I just wanted to start a project that would make be better at Rust. The easy distribution with cargo is a huge bonus though.
