This article mainly introduces the commonly used terminal applications under Linux, which have a certain reference value, interested friends can refer to, I hope you can learn a lot after reading this article, let the editor take you to understand it.

Many Linux users think that working in a terminal is too complex and boring, and try to avoid it. But here's a way to improve it-- great open source programs on four terminals. They are fun and easy to use, and can even illuminate your life when you need to work on the command line.

No More Secrets

This is a simple command-line tool that can reproduce the famous data decryption effect seen in the 1992 movie Sneakers [1]. This project allows you to compile a nms command that is used with pipe data and printed out in the form of confusing characters. Once started, you can press any key and see a live "decryption" of cool Hollywood effects in the output.

Installation instructions

A newly installed Fedora Workstation system already contains everything you need to build No More Secrets from source code. Simply enter the following command in the terminal:

Git clone https://github.com/bartobri/no-more-secrets.gitcd. / no-more-secretsmake nmsmake sneakers # # Optionalsudo make install

For those who remember the original movie, the sneakers command is a small colored egg, but the main hero is nms. Use pipes to redirect any Linux commands to nms, as follows:

Systemctl list-units-- type=target | nms

When the text stops flashing, press any key to "decrypt" it. The systemctl command above is just an example-you can replace it with almost anything!

Lolcat

This is a command to color the terminal output with a rainbow. It's useless, but it looks great!

Installation instructions

Lolcat is a Ruby package that is available from the official Ruby Gems hosting. So, you first need the gem client:

Sudo dnf install-y rubygems

Then install lolcat itself:

Gem install lolcat

Again, use the lolcat command to pipe any other commands and enjoy the rainbow (and unicorns) in the Fedora terminal! ).

Chafa

Chafa is a command line image converter and viewer [2]. It can help you appreciate the image without leaving the terminal. The syntax is very simple:

Chafa / path/to/your/image

You can project almost any type of image to chafa, including JPG, PNG, TIFF, BMP, or almost any image supported by ImageMagick-this is the engine chafa uses to parse input files. The coolest part is that chafa can also display very smooth GIF animation in your terminal!

Installation instructions

Chafa hasn't packaged Fedora yet, but it's easy to build it from the source code. First, get the necessary build dependencies:

Sudo dnf install-y autoconf automake libtool gtk-doc glib2-devel ImageMagick-devel

Next, clone the code or download the snapshot from the GitHub page of the project, and then cd to the chafa directory, which is fine:

Git clone https://github.com/hpjansson/chafa./autogen.shmakesudo make install

Large images may take a while to process the first time they are run, but chafa caches everything you load. The next run is almost instantaneous.

Browsh

Browsh is a perfect terminal web browser. It is more powerful than Lynx and certainly more eye-catching. Browsh launches the Firefox Web browser in headless mode (so you can't see it) and connects it to your terminal with the help of a special Web extension. As a result, Browsh can present all rich media content like Firefox, but in a somewhat pixel-like style.

Installation instructions

The project provides packages for various Linux distributions, including Fedora. Install in this way:

Sudo dnf install-y https://github.com/browsh-org/browsh/releases/download/v1.4.6/browsh_1.4.6_linux_amd64.rpm

After that, start the browsh command and give it a few seconds to load. Press Ctrl+L to switch focus to the address bar and start browsing Web, just like before! Use Ctrl+Q to return to the terminal.
