GoTTY is a command line tool written in Go that turns CLI programs into web applications by streaming the terminal over a browser via WebSockets. It starts a web server that renders any command's TTY output in the browser, with optional write access, basic auth, TLS, and random URLs.

Use cases

• share a terminal session with teammates through a browser
• run htop or top remotely from a web page
• give demos of CLI tools without SSH access
• expose a long-running command's output over HTTP
• provide a browser-based terminal on a headless server

When to choose

• you want to view or share terminal output in a browser with minimal setup
• you need a quick single-binary web terminal with auth and TLS options
• you want to demo CLI tools to non-technical users

When to avoid

• you need a full interactive multi-session terminal manager with modern security hardening
• you require active development and frequent updates
• you need fine-grained per-user access control or audit logging
