Termalime is a Tauri-powered desktop cockpit that fuses a full terminal emulator with an AI chat console. It’s built for developers who constantly bounce between shell sessions and AI prompts—everything lives in a single split-pane workspace with a polished lime-dark aesthetic.

• Split terminal + AI chat: Resizable panes keep shell output and assistant replies side-by-side.
• Persistent sessions: PTY sessions stay alive while you prompt the model, perfect for iterative workflows.
• Hover controls: Copy/delete chat messages instantly via subtle on-hover actions.
• Custom branding: Lime splash screen, dock/taskbar icon, and packaging metadata branded as “Termalime”.
• Linux desktop bundles: One command emits .deb, .rpm, and AppImage artifacts for distribution.

• Frontend: React + Vite + Tailwind/Tauri styles
• Desktop shell: Tauri 2.x (Rust backend with WebKit WebView)
• Terminal subsystem: portable-pty + custom PTY registry for multi-session terminal streams
• AI bridge: Streams chat responses from local Ollama models via async reqwest client

npm install
npm run tauri dev

This repository includes a GitHub Actions workflow that builds the frontend and the Tauri app on Ubuntu.

What it does:

• Installs Node.js and Rust toolchain
• Installs system packages required by Tauri (GTK, WebKit, pkg-config, OpenSSL headers)
• Builds the Vite frontend (npm run build)
• Runs the Tauri build (npm run tauri build) and uploads any artifacts under src-tauri/target/release/bundle

If you want to reproduce the CI environment locally, follow the native deps step (example for Ubuntu) and then run:

npm ci
npm run build
npm run tauri build

Linux tip: if GTK/WebKit headers aren’t detected, prefix dev/test commands with PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig:/usr/share/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH (same for cargo check).

• Splash markup lives in index.html, styling in src/index.css.
• Runtime window icon logic sits in src-tauri/src/lib.rs (clones app.default_window_icon() so the dock shows the lime badge).
• Regenerate icons with npm run tauri icon ./assets/logo.png and confirm references inside src-tauri/tauri.conf.json.

npm run tauri build

This runs the Vite build (dist/) and feeds it to the Tauri bundler.

1. Install native deps once:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y libgtk-3-dev libwebkit2gtk-4.0-dev build-essential curl wget pkg-config libssl-dev

2. Build the bundles:

PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig:/usr/share/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH npm run tauri build

3. Install the .deb locally:

sudo apt install ./src-tauri/target/release/bundle/deb/Termalime_0.2.0_amd64.deb

Artifacts land under src-tauri/target/release/bundle/:

• deb/Termalime_0.2.0_amd64.deb → install with apt
• appimage/Termalime_0.2.0_amd64.AppImage → chmod +x then run directly
• rpm/Termalime-0.2.0-1.x86_64.rpm → for Fedora/RHEL friends

Adjust bundle.targets or metadata inside src-tauri/tauri.conf.json if you only need specific formats or want to bump versions.
