Highly Configurable Terminal Dashboard for Developers

DevDash is a highly configurable terminal dashboard for developers, who want to choose and display the most up-to-date metrics they need, at one place.

Why using DevDash?

• Pull the data and display it in cool diagrams (or widgets) using YAML / JSON config, from:
  • Your own computer. From your own scripts / command lines too!
  • A remote computer via SSH
  • Github
  • Travis
  • Google Analytics
  • Google Search Console
  • Feedly
• A huge amount of flexibility compared to other terminal dashboards:
  • Choose the widgets you want.
  • Place your widgets where you want.
  • Choose the data you want to display, the colors you want to use, and a lot of other things for each widget.
  • Don't want to personalize everything? Don't overwrite the defaults, then.
• Unlimited amount of different dashboards with different configurations.
• Data refreshed automatically via time ticks, or via a keyboard shortcut (Ctrl + r by default).

Menu

Installation

You can simply grab the latest released binary file and download the version you need, depending on your OS.

Linux script

Here's a simple way to download DevDash and move it in /usr/local/bin , in order to be able to use DevDash everywhere easily.

curl -LO https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Phantas0s/devdash/master/install/linux.sh && \
sh ./linux.sh && \
rm linux.sh

Manual installation

You need to clone this repository and build the binary in cmd/devdash .

How Does It Work?

In a nutshell:

• If you run DevDash without giving a dashboard configuration, it will create and display a default dashboard ( default.yml ) located in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/devdash or $HOME/.config/devdash .
• To get used to dashboard' configurations, there are many examples here . They can help you getting started.
• To run a dashboard created in the two filepaths mentioned above, you just need to execute dashboard -c my-super-dashboard , if your configuration file is called my-super-dashboard.yml . You can use JSON as well!
• You can as well run any dashboard from anywhere if you give an absolute or relative path.
• I'm thriving to make DevDash easier to configure, yet very flexible and customizable. The next updates will go in that direction.

DevDash was inspired from other open source projects:

Bugs and Ideas

I would be happy to read about new ideas and to fix bugs. Opening an issue is the way to go.

Contribute

First of all, thanks a lot if you want to contribute to DevDash!

If you want to implement a new feature, let's speak about it first and decide if it fits DevDash scope.

Making Of

For anybody interested how I managed to develop DevDash on side of a full time job, and how I organized my time and kept my motivation, I wrote an article about that on my blog .
