## Features

- **SSH sessions** — saved configs (host, port, user, key, folder, color), CRUD with side panel
- **Claude Code sessions** — saved Claude Code configs with sudo, resume, skip-permissions and initial prompt
- **SSH macros** — multi-step macros (text, key, delay) assigned to sessions, run from sidebar
- **Tabs** — multiple terminals in tabs, Ctrl+T new, Ctrl+Shift+W close, Ctrl+PageUp/Down switch
- **Sudo askpass** — Claude Code with sudo: password entered once, temporary askpass helper, auto-cleanup
- **Folder grouping** — SSH and Claude Code sessions can be grouped in folders on the sidebar
- **ctx — Context manager** — SQLite-based cross-session context database for Claude Code projects
- **Catppuccin Mocha** — full theme: terminal, sidebar, tabs, session colors

## Installation

```bash
git clone https://github.com/DexterFromLab/BTerminal.git
cd BTerminal
./install.sh
```

The installer will:
1. Install system dependencies (python3-gi, GTK3, VTE)
2. Copy files to `~/.local/share/bterminal/`
3. Create symlinks: `bterminal` and `ctx` in `~/.local/bin/`
4. Initialize context database at `~/.claude-context/context.db`
5. Add desktop entry to application menu

### v2 Installation (Tauri — build from source)

Requires Node.js 20+, Rust 1.77+, and system libraries (WebKit2GTK 4.1, GTK3, etc.).

```bash
git clone https://github.com/DexterFromLab/BTerminal.git
cd BTerminal
./install-v2.sh
```

The installer checks all dependencies, offers to install missing system packages via apt, builds the Tauri app, and installs the binary as `bterminal-v2` in `~/.local/bin/`.

Pre-built .deb and AppImage packages are available from [GitHub Releases](https://github.com/DexterFromLab/BTerminal/releases) (built via CI on version tags).

### v1 Manual dependency install (Debian/Ubuntu/Pop!_OS)

```bash
sudo apt install python3-gi gir1.2-gtk-3.0 gir1.2-vte-2.91
```

## Usage

```bash
bterminal
```

## Context Manager (ctx)

`ctx` is a SQLite-based tool for managing persistent context across Claude Code sessions.

```bash
ctx init myproject "Project description" /path/to/project
ctx get myproject                    # Load full context (shared + project)
ctx set myproject key "value"        # Save a context entry
ctx shared set preferences "value"   # Save shared context (available in all projects)
ctx summary myproject "What was done" # Save session summary
ctx search "query"                   # Full-text search across everything
ctx list                             # List all projects
ctx history myproject                # Show session history
ctx --help                           # All commands
```

### Integration with Claude Code

Add a `CLAUDE.md` to your project root:

```markdown
On session start, load context:
  ctx get myproject

Save important discoveries: ctx set myproject <key> <value>
Before ending session: ctx summary myproject "<what was done>"
```

Claude Code reads `CLAUDE.md` automatically and will maintain the context database.
