Project goals

The goal of the project is to create a beautiful and extensible experience for command-line interface users, built on open web standards. In the beginning, our focus will be primarily around speed, stability and the development of the correct API for extension authors.

In the future, we anticipate the community will come up with innovative additions to enhance what could be the simplest, most powerful and well-tested interface for productivity.

Usage

Linux

Arch and derivatives

Hyper is available in the AUR. Use an AUR package manager e.g. paru

Contribute

Regardless of the platform you are working on, you will need to have pnpm available. The recommended way is to enable it with Corepack: corepack enable pnpm.

Install necessary packages:

Windows
- Be sure to run pnpm add --global windows-build-tools from an elevated prompt (as an administrator) to install windows-build-tools.
macOS
- Once you have enabled pnpm, you can skip this section!
Linux (You can see here what your Linux is based on.)
- RPM-based
  - GraphicsMagick
  - libicns-utils
  - xz (Installed by default on some distributions.)
- Debian-based
  - graphicsmagick
  - icnsutils
  - xz-utils

Fork this repository to your own GitHub account and then clone it to your local device
Install the dependencies: pnpm install
Build the code and watch for changes: pnpm run dev
To run hyper

pnpm run app from another terminal tab/window/pane
If you are using Visual Studio Code, select Launch Hyper in debugger configuration to launch a new Hyper instance with debugger attached.
If you interrupt pnpm run dev, you'll need to relaunch it each time you want to test something. Webpack will watch changes and will rebuild renderer code when needed (and only what have changed). You'll just have to relaunch electron by using pnpm run app or VSCode launch task.

To make sure that your code works in the finished application, you can generate the binaries like this:

pnpm run dist

After that, you will see the binary in the ./dist folder!

Known issues that can happen during development

Error building `node-pty`

If after building during development you get an alert dialog related to node-pty issues, make sure its build process is working correctly by running pnpm run rebuild-node-pty.

If you are on macOS, this typically is related to Xcode issues (like not having agreed to the Terms of Service by running sudo xcodebuild after a fresh Xcode installation).

Error with `C++` on macOS when running `pnpm install`

If you are getting compiler errors when running pnpm install add the environment variable export CXX=clang++

Error with `codesign` on macOS when running `pnpm run dist`

If you have issues in the codesign step when running pnpm run dist on macOS, you can temporarily disable code signing locally by setting export CSC_IDENTITY_AUTO_DISCOVERY=false for the current terminal session.
