doitlive is a Python CLI tool for live terminal presentations. It reads a file of shell commands and replays them in a fake terminal session as you type random characters, simulating live coding.

Use cases

  • fake live coding during conference talks
  • replay shell commands in a demo as if typing them live
  • record a scripted terminal session for a presentation
  • make a terminal demo look effortless
  • rehearse command-line tutorials
  • create hacker-typer style terminal effects

When to choose

  • you give talks involving terminal demos and want reliable, scripted typing
  • you want a lightweight pip/homebrew-installable presentation tool
  • you want to avoid typos and mistakes during live shell demos

When to avoid

  • you need actual interactive execution with real output branching
  • you need screen recording or video capture of terminal sessions
  • you need GUI-based presentation tooling
