Hyper
Hyper is an Electron-based terminal emulator and extensible framework that runs shell commands and system processes. It uses web technologies, including HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, to render the command-line interface.
The project provides a programmable environment for building custom plugins and themes. This architecture allows for the modification of terminal behavior and the design of custom interface interactions through web styling.
The system emulates a terminal environment and supports the integration of external scripts to extend functionality and customize the visual appearance of the shell.
Features
- Terminal Emulators - Provides a full terminal emulator for running shell commands and managing system processes.
