elves / try Goto Github PK

Sometimes I want to show the efficiency of the Linux CLI environment to someone, or teach some Linux stuff while they are on a Windows machine. The web interface is suitable for these cases.
It would be cool if some of the greatest Linux command line tools would be available on try.elv.sh.
exa - a modern and more powerful replacement for ls
fd - a modern replacement for find
Kakoune - a powerful code editor
ripgrep - a modern and fast replacement for grep
Pijul - a modern and lightweight version tracking system

Predefined workspaces could be user directories that contain files, custom rc.elv, and so. It could be available as e.g. https://try.elv.sh/?arg=workspace:https://{git_repo_url}
Use cases:

• Show the usability of custom shell/cli tools config. The default install is not so powerful.
• I am writing a CLI tutorial, and it would be great to include the try.elv.sh page embedded in the tutorial. It would be even more powerful to have files created for demonstration purposes, because example commands are much easier to understand via real examples.

The --permit-arguments option of gotty could be used to clone a git repo from e.g. GitLab to the home directory. The repo could contain an rc.elv file, and other config files.
