visual shell

Visual shell is a file system UI, optimized for developers. (The goal is to more generally make it a UI wrapper for the command line interface.)

Current features

• Navigation
  • ls window
  • directory bookmarks
  • file name filter
  • open text files with VS code directly
• File exploration
  • Visualize data with custom and default file handlers
  • Currently supports: csv and hdf5 files

Requirements:

• Have VS code installed
  • ensure VS code binaries are added to the path with

  export PATH="$PATH:/Applications/Visual Studio Code.app/Contents/Resources/app/bin"

• Electron app built on flask and react

To run

$ cd electron-app && npm run make
$ python backend/run.py

and open the application in electron-app/out

Command tracker (@self)

• npm init electron-app@latest my-new-app -- --template=webpack
