Terminal tools on the cars
The three terminal tools installed on both cars for reading docs, keeping sessions alive and editing files over SSH.
Both cars have glow, tmux and micro installed for working over SSH. To have something else installed, mention @it-services in Discord with what you need and why.
| Tool | Use | Commands |
|---|---|---|
glow |
Reads Markdown in the terminal, such as the workspace’s docs/ folder |
glow README.md reads one file; glow in a folder browses its docs |
tmux |
Keeps a session running after the connection drops | tmux new -s work starts a session; Ctrl+b then d detaches; tmux attach -t work reattaches |
micro |
Edits files with the usual shortcuts | micro path/to/file opens it; Ctrl+s saves; Ctrl+q quits |
Run builds and launches inside tmux. Without it, closing the browser tab or losing Wi-Fi ends the SSH session and stops everything started from it, including a launch that is driving the car’s motor controller.
