TUIview [tv]

A TUI for every CLI 📺

Documentation | Slide Deck | Git Repo

TUIview [tv] allows you to create Textual User Interfaces (TUIs) for command-line interfaces (CLIs) that do not provide their own TUI.

By prefixing any supported CLI command with the tv command -- tv <program> -- you can interact with a TUI form to interactively build and execute CLI commands for <program>.

TUIview accepts spec from YAML files, or from Python files that implement an Argparse ArgumentParser.

TUIview is a tool for displaying these "programs", and also provides a built-in repository of curated programs.

Care to contribute or improve a TV program? PRs welcome 🤙
