---- [**Tabby**](https://tabby.sh) (formerly **Terminus**) is a highly configurable terminal emulator, SSH and serial client for Windows, macOS and Linux * Integrated SSH and Telnet client and connection manager * Integrated serial terminal * Theming and color schemes * Fully configurable shortcuts and multi-chord shortcuts * Split panes * Remembers your tabs * PowerShell (and PS Core), WSL, Git-Bash, Cygwin, MSYS2, Cmder and CMD support * Direct file transfer from/to SSH sessions via Zmodem * Full Unicode support including double-width characters * Doesn't choke on fast-flowing outputs * Proper shell experience on Windows including tab completion (via Clink) * Integrated encrypted container for SSH secrets and configuration # Contents - [What Tabby is and isn't](#what-tabby-is-and-isnt) - [Terminal features](#terminal-features) - [SSH Client](#ssh-client) - [Serial Terminal](#serial-terminal) - [Portable](#portable) - [Plugins](#plugins) - [Themes](#themes) - [Contributing](#contributing) # What Tabby is and isn't * **Tabby is** an alternative to Windows' standard terminal (conhost), PowerShell ISE, PuTTY, macOS Terminal.app and iTerm * **Tabby is not** a new shell or a MinGW or Cygwin replacement. Neither is it lightweight - if RAM usage is of importance, consider [Conemu](https://conemu.github.io) or [Alacritty](https://github.com/jwilm/alacritty) # Terminal features ![](docs/readme-terminal.png) * A V220 terminal + various extensions * Multiple nested split panes * Tabs on any side of the window * Optional dockable window with a global spawn hotkey ("Quake console") * Progress detection * Notification on process completion * Bracketed paste, multiline paste warnings * Font ligatures * Custom shell profiles * Optional RMB paste and copy-on select (PuTTY style) # SSH Client ![](docs/readme-ssh.png) * SSH2 client with a connection manager * X11 and port forwarding * Automatic jump host management * Agent forwarding (incl. Pageant and Windows native OpenSSH Agent) * Login scripts # Serial Terminal * Saved connections * Readline input support * Optional hex byte-by-byte input and hexdump output * Newline conversion * Automatic reconnection # Portable Tabby will run as a portable app on Windows, if you create a `data` folder in the same location where `Tabby.exe` lives. # Plugins Plugins and themes can be installed directly from the Settings view inside Tabby. * [clickable-links](https://github.com/Eugeny/tabby-clickable-links) - makes paths and URLs in the terminal clickable * [docker](https://github.com/Eugeny/tabby-docker) - connect to Docker containers * [title-control](https://github.com/kbjr/terminus-title-control) - allows modifying the title of the terminal tabs by providing a prefix, suffix, and/or strings to be removed * [quick-cmds](https://github.com/Domain/terminus-quick-cmds) - quickly send commands to one or all terminal tabs * [save-output](https://github.com/Eugeny/tabby-save-output) - record terminal output into a file * [sync-config](https://github.com/starxg/terminus-sync-config) - sync the config to Gist or Gitee * [clippy](https://github.com/Eugeny/tabby-clippy) - an example plugin which annoys you all the time # Themes * [hype](https://github.com/Eugeny/tabby-theme-hype) - a Hyper inspired theme * [relaxed](https://github.com/Relaxed-Theme/relaxed-terminal-themes#terminus) - the Relaxed theme for Tabby * [gruvbox](https://github.com/porkloin/terminus-theme-gruvbox) * [windows10](https://www.npmjs.com/package/terminus-theme-windows10) * [altair](https://github.com/yxuko/terminus-altair) # Sponsors [![](https://assets-production.packagecloud.io/assets/packagecloud-logo-light-scaled-26ce8e96060fddf74afbd4445e63ba35590d4aaa56edc98495bb390ef3cae0ae.png)](https://packagecloud.io) [**packagecloud**](https://packagecloud.io) has provided free Debian/RPM repository hosting # Contributing Pull requests and plugins are welcome!
