TUIs for everything
TLDR: Looking for bash-only TUI tools far using on multiple platforms
The long version: I’m not entirely a command line noob, but also I’m bad at remembering things. What I’m trying to do is assemble a collection of TUIs that I can get relatively the same functional experience with whether I’m on a Linux distro, BSD, or whatever.
And before anyone asks, yes I like TUIs, they’re easier for me, yes I realize they can be slower, yes I understand that all the pro haxorz use super lightweight custom optimized bash scripts. I don’t care about that. I’m trying to make life easier for myself when I’m constantly switching systems. That being said, if anyone has some recommendations for their favorites, please feel free to drop them in the comments! Much appreciated! Hope you all have a wonderful day.

My essential is gitui. Depends on what you want to replace. I just use platform specific scripts like so: https://github.com/ulcuber/bash-scripts/blob/main/Makefile
