terminal-code puts VS Code in terminals
terminal-code brings a VS Code-compatible editor into terminal environments through the `tode` CLI, with support for folders, file navigation, diffs, source control, extensions, and editor settings. It combines code-server with terminal-browser to create a terminal-native coding interface for macOS and Linux.
terminal-code is a clever inversion of the usual “terminal inside an editor” model, especially for developers who live in SSH sessions and want richer tooling without abandoning their terminal workflow.
- –VS Code compatibility preserves familiar extensions, keybindings, themes, and settings
- –CLI commands support practical workflows such as `--goto`, `--diff`, splits, reviews, and workspace reuse
- –The open-source architecture builds on proven projects rather than recreating an editor from scratch
- –Terminal shortcut conflicts require setup, adding friction for first-time users
- –Windows support is unofficial and depends on modern terminal graphics capabilities, limiting its audience
