This example visualizes the process of revealing hidden files on OSX 10.9 by executing two shell commands. It shows the terminal commands `defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE` and `killall Finder` as a sequential code snippet, highlighting the system state change from hidden to visible files. The visualization relies on a simple text-based rendering of the shell script, with no external libraries or APIs beyond standard shell execution. The data source is the literal command sequence itself, presented as a static code block to demonstrate the minimal steps required. The rendering approach is a plain code display, not a chart or graph, focusing on command clarity over graphical abstraction.

Gist 93f2b4ad88451cab624a50ea0da1d8dc

This example visualizes a simple command-line workflow for extracting and executing archived files in Linux, showing tar and sudo commands in a terminal-style interface. The visualization uses D3.js to render the text output, likely employing `d3.select` and `d3.text` to load and display the command results. It presents a static, sequential display of terminal commands and their outputs, with no interactive elements beyond the initial rendering. The data is hardcoded as a plain text string containing the shell commands and their expected responses, and the code uses D3’s selection and text manipulation methods to place the content on the page.

Terminal Cheat Sheet

This example presents a text-based visualization of a terminal cheat sheet, displaying common shell commands and Git workflows in a compact reference format. The visualization shows grouped sections for basic commands, Git quick starts, branching, merging, and revision inspection, with code snippets and inline comments explaining each operation. The rendering approach uses plain monospaced text with tab-separated formatting to align commands with their descriptions, and the data originates from a public gist authored by FilipMessa. No external libraries or APIs are used; the visualization relies entirely on the raw text file’s structure to convey the information.

#localhost

This visualization presents the classic command-line ritual of killing a process occupying a port as an interactive, code-driven narrative. It shows the sequence of running `lsof -i tcp:3000` to identify the process ID and then `kill -9 PID` to terminate it. The code uses the `d3.forceSimulation` API to arrange nodes—each representing a terminal command or system component—into a dynamic, physics-based layout. The rendering relies on the D3.js library for graph structure and layout, with data pulled directly from the provided Gist containing the command sequence. The interaction allows for exploration of the command's textual output.

Gist ef922100e5c3d57bc49a219fb2623ccd

This example visualizes a collection of Linux command-line tips, presenting each command as a tile with its syntax and a brief explanation. It uses a force-directed graph layout via `d3.forceSimulation` to position the command tiles, which are rendered as HTML elements. The code filters and displays the data based on user interaction, highlighting commands that match a search term. The visualization is built with D3.js and demonstrates how to map textual data into an interactive, spatially organized interface.

mac set up

This example shows a curated collection of development tools and setup commands for macOS, organized as a simple textual list. The visualization is a static, human-readable reference guide rather than a data-driven graphic. It lists software like Rectangle for window snapping, AltTab for app switching, iTerm2 with tmux integration, Oh My Zsh for shell customization, and Typora for markdown editing, with direct URLs and command examples. The rendering approach is plain markdown, using bullet points and hyperlinks to present the information clearly. No specific data visualization libraries or APIs are used; instead, the content relies on structured text formatting to convey the setup workflow.

Gist 182083

This example visualizes the output of a shell script that forcibly reinstalls Ruby Version Manager (RVM), capturing the terminal session as a log. The data is a sequence of command prompts and system responses, shown as text. The visualization would likely render this as a timeline or list of terminal output, highlighting the progression of commands, the confirmation prompt, and the cascade of permission errors during the uninstall. It emphasizes the iterative nature of the process and the repeated permission failures, turning a mundane system log into a visual narrative about software management and error handling.

Displaying directory sizes (e.g. .git, node_modules, etc)

This example shows the sizes of directories matching a user-specified name pattern, such as `.git` or `node_modules`, across a directory tree. It visualizes the disk usage of each matching folder, highlighting how much space different project dependencies or version-control data occupy. The implementation uses a simple shell function that combines `find` with `-prune` to locate matching directories and `du -sh` to report their human-readable sizes. The output is a plain list of sizes and paths, as seen in the included example output, and no external visualization library is required—the result is meant for terminal display or further processing.

Gist 46310a031af739a3b3941d63cd6cb33c

This visualization demonstrates the process of generating and displaying an SSH key, showing step-by-step terminal commands and their outputs. The code uses vanilla JavaScript and HTML/CSS to render a structured guide with command examples, including `ssh-keygen` variations and `cat` commands for viewing public keys. It presents the data as a static, text-based instructional card, with syntax highlighting applied to differentiate commands from comments and output. The interface relies on simple DOM manipulation and CSS styling rather than charting or mapping libraries.
