terminal-code

terminal-code is a command-line tool that runs the VS Code interface inside a terminal. It combines terminal-browser, a browser rendered in the terminal, with code-server, which provides VS Code in a browser; the terminal renderer uses the Kitty graphics protocol to draw the interface. The `tode` command opens folders or files, supports workspace, split-pane, diff, extension, theme, source-control review, and timing options, and can serve or shut down code-server. It includes an SSH mode that keeps the VS Code frontend local while running the backend remotely, proxying network requests over SSH. It is distributed for macOS and Linux through an installation script; Windows is supported only through a compatible terminal and Linux under WSL, without an official Windows build.
