history

Project history and usage

cLive is a Go-based CLI that automates terminal operations through a YAML action file and a browser-backed terminal session.

Project history

cLive was created by koki-develop in late 2022. The upstream README presents it as a tool for automating terminal operations, with `clive init` generating `./clive.yml` and `clive start` launching the browser-driven run.

Adoption history

The project is young and niche, but it has enough official distribution signals to be source-backed: the README documents install paths through the author's Homebrew tap, Homebrew core, `go install`, and GitHub releases. The batch input also records Homebrew, MacPorts, and Nix package entries.

How it is used

Users install `ttyd`, initialize a `clive.yml` file, define `settings` and `actions`, validate the file, and run `clive start`. The action model supports typing, key presses, pauses, screenshots, and browser/terminal display settings.

Why package nerds care

cLive is package-nerd interesting as a packaged wrapper around terminal demos and reproducible command sequences. Its packaging has to account for Go binaries plus the external `ttyd` prerequisite, which is a classic CLI formula dependency concern.
