└── readme.md /readme.md: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | # TotalTerminal for OS X 2 | 3 | [TotalTerminal for OS X](http://totalterminal.binaryage.com) provides a system-wide terminal window accessible via a hot-key, much like the console in Quake. 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | ## TotalTerminal is no longer open-source 8 | 9 | TotalTerminal was forked and the latest version from BinaryAge is private. You can find last published open-source version in [master branch of this repo](https://github.com/binaryage/totalterminal/tree/master). I have announced it in [this blog post](http://blog.binaryage.com/surfing-mavericks). 10 | 11 | ## What was the reason? 12 | 13 | I'm also developer of closed-source app called [TotalFinder](http://totalfinder.binaryage.com). Both TotalFinder and TotalTerminal are plugins into native Mac apps (SIMBL plugins) and could gain by sharing common library code. I have developed a lot of SIMBL-related reusable code in TotalFinder and I wanted to reuse it in TotalTerminal. This would help me to maintain TotalTerminal codebase more effectively. The problem was that I'm not confortable open-sourcing all that work from TotalFinder at this point. TotalFinder is a paid app and inspired [active competition](http://www.trankynam.com/xtrafinder) who implemented most TotalFinder features in their free product. Competition is good, but sharing this code would simply help them without much benefit on my side. 14 | 15 | If you want to contribute to TotalTerminal, please [contact me](mailto:antonin@binaryage.com) and I will consider sharing access to the private repo. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
