Awesome list of CLI/TUI programs

This repository contains a list of (mainly) CLI/TUI apps with links and a short description. To the best of my knowledge, this is the largest collection of CLI/TUI tools available in the form of awesome list.

The peculiarity of this repository is that the source of information is structured into CSV files with a simple structure. See the data/ directory.

This README file is generated from the CSV files. To build README.md run (python3 is required for building):
