Easily drag-and-drop tabs, split terminal panes horizontally or vertically, and extract split panes into separate tabs.\n* **Built-in SSH \u0026 SFTP Manager**: Securely save SSH hosts, connect to remote servers, and transfer files via an integrated SFTP client.\n* **Integrated Ad-Blocking Browser**: Browse documentation and web applications side-by-side with your terminal in a sandboxed browser powered by `@ghostery/adblocker-electron`.\n* **Developer Productivity Toolbelt**: Monitor active network ports, view live CPU/RAM metrics, access clipboard history, manage snippets, and run project scripts directly from the sidebar.\n* **SQLite Session Persistence**: Automatically log full terminal transcripts to a local SQLite database for search, audit trails, and historical playback.\n* **Hot-Reloadable Configuration**: Customize keyboard shortcuts, fonts, browser settings, and themes (like Catppuccin, Nord, and Dracula) via a live-updating `config.json5` configuration file.\n\n---\n\n## Features Breakdown\n\n### 1. GPU-Accelerated Cross-Platform Terminal Emulator\nVet provides a fast, responsive command-line interface on Linux, macOS, and Windows. Utilizing WebGL rendering, it handles high-throughput logs and text processing without lag. Features include URL/path detection, customizable scrollback limits, and native node-pty integrations.\n\n### 2. Multi-Tab \u0026 Split-Pane Layouts (Tiling Manager)\nCustomize your terminal layout dynamically. Split panes vertically or horizontally, resize panels with smooth drag handles, and extract individual panes to standalone tabs instantly to stay organized.\n\n### 3. Integrated SSH and SFTP Client\nDitch standalone SSH managers. Vet includes a secure connection manager allowing you to configure SSH profiles, launch remote terminal sessions, and use the integrated SFTP panel to upload and download files.\n\n### 4. Sandboxed Web Browser with Ghostery Adblocker\nSearch developer documentation, stack overflow, or local web servers directly inside Vet. The sandboxed webview browser comes equipped with a Ghostery-powered adblocker that blocks tracking scripts, cookie popups, and ads automatically.\n\n### 5. Developer Sidebar \u0026 Port Monitor\nStay updated on your environment. The developer sidebar provides a clipboards cache, a snippets manager, a live system diagnostics panel, an active network ports inspector, and a script launcher for running `npm`/`pnpm`/`yarn` scripts.\n\n### 6. SQLite-Based Terminal Session Logs\nEvery terminal session is indexed and saved to a local SQLite database. Search your commands, run audit checks, or replay full historical transcripts of past sessions at any time.\n\n---\n\n## Technology Stack\n\n* **Frontend Framework**: [React](https://react.dev/) \u0026 [TypeScript](https://www.typescriptlang.org/)\n* **Shell Integration**: [Electron](https://www.electronjs.org/) \u0026 [Node-PTY](https://github.com/microsoft/node-pty)\n* **Terminal Engine**: [Xterm.js](https://xtermjs.org/) (WebGL, Ligatures, Search, WebLinks)\n* **Database**: [SQLite](https://sqlite.org/) (for session persistence)\n* **Security \u0026 Ad-blocking**: [Ghostery Adblocker Engine](https://github.com/ghostery/adblocker)\n\n---\n\n## Installation\n\n### Automated Installer (Linux)\nInstall Vet instantly using our automated bash script:\n```bash\ncurl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dawiisss/vet/main/install.sh | bash\n```\n\n### Manual Package Installation\nDownload distribution-specific binaries from the `dist/` folder:\n\n* **Debian / Ubuntu (`.deb`)**:\n  ```bash\n  sudo apt install ./dist/vet_1.0.2_amd64.deb\n  ```\n* **RedHat / Fedora (`.rpm`)**:\n  ```bash\n  sudo dnf install ./dist/vet-1.0.2.x86_64.rpm\n  ```\n* **Portable AppImage (`.AppImage`)**:\n  ```bash\n  chmod +x dist/Vet-1.0.2.AppImage\n  ./dist/Vet-1.0.2.AppImage\n  ```\n\n---\n\n## Default Keyboard Shortcuts\n\n| Shortcut | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| `Ctrl+Shift+P` | Open Command Palette |\n| `Ctrl+,` | Open Settings Manager |\n| `Ctrl+B` | Toggle Sidebar Panels |\n| `Ctrl+Shift+T` | Open New Tab |\n| `Ctrl+Shift+W` | Close Focused Tab |\n| `Ctrl+Tab` | Switch to Next Tab |\n| `Ctrl+Shift+Tab` | Switch to Previous Tab |\n| `Ctrl+Shift+\\` | Split Pane Horizontally |\n| `Ctrl+Shift+D` | Split Pane Vertically |\n| `Ctrl+Shift+E` | Extract Pane to New Tab |\n| `Ctrl+Alt+U` | Unsplit Active Panes |\n| `Alt+RightArrow` | Focus Next Split Pane |\n| `Alt+LeftArrow` | Focus Previous Split Pane |\n| `Ctrl+Shift+C` / `V` | Copy / Paste Clipboard |\n| `Ctrl+F` | Find Text in Terminal |\n| `Ctrl+Shift+F` | Toggle Fullscreen Mode |\n| `Ctrl+Q` | Quit Application |\n\n---\n\n## Configuration\n\nVet configurations are stored in `~/.config/vet/config.json5` and hot-reload instantly.

It also includes an integrated SFTP client, permitting file transfers between your local machine and remote servers without leaving the app.\n\n### How does the ad-blocking web browser in Vet work?\nThe embedded browser uses Electron's webview and integrates the Ghostery ad-blocking engine with EasyList and uBlock filter lists. It runs entirely in a sandboxed process, blocking advertisements and tracking pixels natively.\n\n### Where are terminal session transcripts saved?\nAll terminal sessions are saved locally to an SQLite database on your machine (located in the application data directory). Transcripts are fully searchable and can be reviewed or replayed.\n\n---\n\n## Contributing \u0026 Community\n\nContributions to Vet are highly appreciated!
