YOUR TERMINAL, A LITTLE LESS MYSTERIOUS

Terminal commands for vibe coders.

Know where you are, see what changed, and make a focused local edit. Start with the basics, then choose one of 24 direct tools.

Mac or Windows

Choose Bash/zsh for Mac or PowerShell for Windows in the customizer. Copy the entire generated block.

Check before applying

The direct tools show a proposed change and ask you to type APPLY. They create a backup before writing.

Know the scope

Node.js is required. Tools edit global CSS or static HTML; framework-specific work belongs in AI mode.

GET YOUR BEARINGS

Six commands to know first.

Where am I?

Print your current folder before running a project command.

pwd

What is in this folder?

List visible files and folders to check that this is your project.

ls

Is Node.js installed?

Print the installed version. If it is missing, install it before using the direct scripts.

node --version

What scripts can I run?

In a project with package.json, list the scripts defined by that project.

npm run

What changed?

In a Git repository, review modified and untracked files.

git status --short

Show the actual edits
