A terminal based CLI? As opposed to what?
- osigurdson 1y agoI think they mean it is an interactive type terminal program (vs "one shot" as the git cli itself).
- csmantle 1y agoFrom the GIF in the repo I think it's somewhere between CLI and TUI -- it's interactive but does not try to draw windows/surfaces in the terminal. But the borderline is fuzzy, so yeah
- frou_dh 1y agoCLI as a paradigm is not necessarily related to emulating 1980s DEC hardware.
- bmf-san 1y agoYeah, “terminal-based CLI” might’ve been a fuzzy phrase — I meant it’s an interactive command-line tool, not just a one-shot command like most git subcommands. It’s somewhere between a minimal TUI and a CLI — no full-screen UI, but it does guide the user interactively. Thanks for the discussion, made me realize I should clarify that better in the README.
- nine_k 1y agoThe most popular CLI today is the browser's address / search / everything-else input control.
