README
### **NO LONGER MAINTAINED.** A maintained fork of gotop exists at https://github.com/xxxserxxx/gotop.
Another terminal based graphical activity monitor, inspired by [gtop](https://github.com/aksakalli/gtop) and [vtop](https://github.com/MrRio/vtop), this time written in [Go](https://golang.org/)!
## Installation
Working and tested on Linux, FreeBSD and macOS. Windows support is planned. OpenBSD works with some caveats.

```bash
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/cjbassi/gotop /tmp/gotop
/tmp/gotop/scripts/download.sh
```
Then move `gotop` into your `$PATH` somewhere.

snap connect gotop-cjbassi:mount-observe
snap connect gotop-cjbassi:system-observe
```

### Colorschemes
gotop ships with a few colorschemes which can be set with the `-c` flag followed by the name of one. You can find all the colorschemes in the [colorschemes folder](./colorschemes).
To make a custom colorscheme, check out the [template](./colorschemes/template.go) for instructions and then use [default.json](./colorschemes/default.json) as a starter. Then put the file at `~/.config/gotop/.json` and load it with `gotop -c `. Colorschemes PR's are welcome!
