Awesome

What is this?

This is very limited web based unix/win/mac terminal. It is the simplest implementation ever still enough to handle:

• everyday nodejs development
• very basic server administration via ssh+paired keys
• simple autocomplete
• command chaining (using && and | )
• shell/terminal mode of command execution (supporting sudo, ssh & etc...) thanks to pty.js & term.js
  • this is experimental, don't expect to work, especially on windows

Why?

Archconsole is inspired heavily from TermKit (https://github.com/unconed/TermKit), but its aim is to enrich nodejs daily development by giving easier dev. env. modifications in self-hosted mode. In addition it is organic inside, which will bring tighter integration with organic based projects.

How?

How to use in browser

1. $ node archconsole.js
2. open http://localhost:3333/
3. input terminal command

how to use in nodewebkit

1. $ node archoconsole.js
2. $ nodewebkit ./

Features

• scripting of custom commands and plugins in javascript

  See /bin/shellstart/*.js files for more info.

shortcut combos

• every command has a marker on its left.

  • green - then command completed successfully.
  • red - failure occurred.
  • organge/blue - then the command is still running.

• ctrl+space - goes to the bottom of the shell and toggles command input focus

• ctrl+shift+c - terminates last started command

• ctrl+shift+enter - restarts last started command

• when command is still running you can see it on top of the browser window with a number

  • ctrl+shift+1 - restarts that command with number 1
  • alt+shift+2 - terminates that command with number 2

git

• alt+shift+g - runs git status on current working directory
• alt+shift+p - runs git pull origin {currentBranchName}
• alt+shift+u - runs git push origin {currentBranchName}

ungit

• alt+shift+enter - runs ungit on current working directory

node

• alt+shift+r - reads from current directory package.json and executes via node its main
• alt+shift+t - reads from current directory package.json and executes via node its scripts.test

terminal

• shift+enter - when starting command by pressing shift+enter it will be executed in terminal. This although not very stable is providing robust support for terminal usage of sudo, vim & alike...

cwd-status

thanks to gift

• ctrl+shift+space - checks current directory and if it is git updates status bar:
  • shows not committed changes if any
  • shows current branch name
  • shows not pushed or not pulled committs if any

nvm

• nvm v0.8.14 - switches current working version of node. Works only when running node installed via nvm

Requirements

• nodejs v0.8.14 || v0.10.18 || above

quick-cd

remembers visited paths when you cd into them.

• ctrl+alt+z brings in list of sorted by most visited remembered paths with support for quick cd into them.

edit

• ctrl+alt+shift+e - runs atom (atom.io) editor at current working directory

nodewebkit related

• global shortcut keys
  • ctrl+alt+a - show/hide archconsole when running in nodewebkit
• type exit - closes the current archconsole window
