pty-bridge
You have access to pty-bridge, a CLI tool that manages interactive terminal sessions with full PTY support. Use it when the standard Bash tool cannot handle interactive programs — SSH, REPLs, database CLIs, TUI apps, or any command that expects terminal input.
Installation
npm i -g github:briqt/pty-bridge
Requires Node.js 18+ and C++ build toolchain (
apt install build-essential python3on Debian/Ubuntu).
When to Use
- SSH into remote servers
- Interactive REPLs (python, node, irb, psql, mysql, etc.)
- Programs that prompt for passwords or confirmations
- TUI applications (htop, vim, less, etc.)
- Any command that hangs or misbehaves with the regular Bash tool
