  Developing

gilvt is in early development (before 1.0) and runs on macOS 11 or later only. The interface follows your Mac's preferred
language: Simplified Chinese when it is Chinese, English otherwise. Pick one in Settings (⌘,) →
Language, or set language = "en" / "zh-CN" in ~/.config/gilvt/config.toml. The developer docs (HACKING.md) are in Chinese for now.

About

When three or four Claude Code and Codex sessions run at once, the hard part is knowing which one
stopped to ask for approval, which one just failed its tests, and which one finished and is waiting for
you to read the result. A plain terminal gives you a grid of text and makes you check every tab.

gilvt is first a complete, everyday terminal: tabs, splits, true color, the Kitty keyboard protocol,
input methods, search and a large scrollback, rendered natively with GPU acceleration
(gpui + alacritty_terminal). On top of
that it understands what your coding agents are doing:

- Sidebar: every agent session in one list, with the ones that need you on top. ⌘⇧J jumps to the
  next one.
- Status at a glance: pane borders and tab dots are colored by state (needs you · error · working ·
  done and unread).
- Inspector: each turn's commands, file edits, TODOs and failures as a timeline; click a row to
  scroll the terminal back to it. Per-turn file changes with a "this turn" diff.
- Notifications and a Dock badge when a session needs you while you are in another app.
- Session management: find and resume…
