Résumé du paquet

Terminal based graphical activity monitor inspired by gtop and vtop

historique

Historique du projet et usages

gotop is a terminal-based graphical activity monitor written in Go. It belongs to the family of richer top-like TUIs that trade plain process tables for charts, widgets, colors, and keyboard-driven inspection.

Historique du projet

The original cjbassi/gotop repository was created in February 2018 and described itself as inspired by gtop and vtop. The xxxserxxx/gotop repository was created in February 2020 after the original author moved to ytop, a Rust rewrite, and deprecated the Go version.

The maintained fork's README documents that the fork exists to keep the Go project alive while keeping a small focused core and providing extension paths for less universal features. Examples called out by the maintainer include NVIDIA sensor support and aggregating data from remote gotop instances.

Historique d'adoption

gotop spread through multiple package channels because it is a visible terminal utility rather than a library. The README documents Arch, Gentoo, Nix, Homebrew, Scoop, prebuilt binaries, RPM and DEB packages, and source installation.

Modes d'utilisation

Users launch gotop in a terminal to monitor CPU, memory, disks, network, processes, batteries, and sensors through a graphical text interface. The README points to layouts, color schemes, device filtering, configuration, and remote-monitoring documentation for users who want to tune the dashboard.

The fork added or folded in features such as layouts, configuration, remote metrics, translations, NVIDIA support, SMART/NVME temperature work, and packaged release artifacts. Its configuration search paths and layout/color-scheme system make it more customizable than a minimal top clone.

Pourquoi les passionnés de paquets s'y intéressent

gotop is significant in package-manager culture because it is a classic terminal eye-candy package: easy to demo, easy to install, and tied to a lineage of top, htop, gtop, vtop, ytop, bashtop, and bpytop. Its fork history also shows how package ecosystems preserve useful CLIs after an original upstream changes direction.
