A Chrome DevTools extension that embeds a system terminal inside the browser's Developer Tools panel. It connects via Chrome's Native Messaging API on Mac/Linux or through a Node.js websocket server for remote connections.
Use cases
- run a terminal inside Chrome DevTools
- tail development logs without leaving the browser
- access a rails console or psql from DevTools
- connect to a remote host's shell over websocket
- run git commands from a browser panel
When to choose
- you live in Chrome DevTools and want quick shell access
- you need a lightweight remote terminal over websocket
- you're on Mac or Linux and want native messaging integration
When to avoid
- you need a maintained tool - the project hasn't been updated since 2016
- you need native messaging on Windows
- you want a full-featured standalone terminal emulator
