The upstream README presents it as a tool for automating terminal operations, with `clive init` generating `./clive.yml` and `clive start` launching the browser-driven run. ### Adoption history The project is young and niche, but it has enough official distribution signals to be source-backed: the README documents install paths through the author's Homebrew tap, Homebrew core, `go install`, and GitHub releases. The batch input also records Homebrew, MacPorts, and Nix package entries. ### How it is used Users install `ttyd`, initialize a `clive.yml` file, define `settings` and `actions`, validate the file, and run `clive start`. The action model supports typing, key presses, pauses, screenshots, and browser/terminal display settings. ### Why package nerds care cLive is package-nerd interesting as a packaged wrapper around terminal demos and reproducible command sequences. Its packaging has to account for Go binaries plus the external `ttyd` prerequisite, which is a classic CLI formula dependency concern. ### Timeline - 2022: GitHub repository created. - 2022: First public release v0.1.0 published. - 2022: README documents Homebrew tap, Homebrew, `go install`, and binary release installation. - 2026: v0.12.17 published as the latest observed upstream release during this batch research. ### Related projects - Related projects include ttyd, terminal recording/demo tools, shell automation scripts, and Go CLI distribution workflows. ### Sources - - ## Security Notes narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger risk:** green / low - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials.
