## What it is
termtile is a set of AppleScript-based shell commands for tiling, resizing, centering, maximizing, and moving terminal windows on macOS. It lets users manage terminal window layout entirely from the keyboard via simple aliases.

## Use cases
- tile terminal windows into screen halves and quarters
- maximize or center the terminal window from the command line
- move a terminal window to another display with a command
- toggle terminal fullscreen without the mouse
- resize the terminal to a comfortable size for vim

## When to choose
- you use macOS's Terminal and want keyboard-driven window tiling
- you want lightweight shell aliases instead of a full window manager
- you work across multiple displays and move terminal windows often

## When to avoid
- you are on Linux or Windows - it only works on OS X
- you need a maintained tool - the last release was in 2015
- you use a terminal other than macOS Terminal.app or need advanced tiling features
