demo-magic is a bash shell script that lets presenters script repeatable command-line demos instead of typing live. It simulates typing, waits for ENTER between steps, and can run or fake commands.

Use cases

• script a live coding demo so I don't have to type commands while presenting
• simulate typing shell commands during a conference talk
• create repeatable terminal demos in bash
• hide setup commands from the audience during a demo
• run a scripted demo over ssh on a remote server

When to choose

• you present terminal-based demos and want a polished, repeatable script
• you want simulated typing and step-by-step ENTER pauses in bash
• you need to hide behind-the-scenes commands from your audience

When to avoid

• you need GUI or slide-based presentation tooling
• you want a non-bash shell like zsh or fish without adaptation
• you need recorded or video demos rather than live scripted ones
