We built The CockPit because we wanted one terminal that feels like a cockpit: calm, green, and with everything one right-click away. Tabs, splits, ready-made layouts, fish, Python, SSH and the AI tools we already use, without digging through menus or remembering ten shortcuts.
Now we’re sharing it. The CockPit 1.0 is free for Linux, Windows and macOS, and the code is open under the MIT License. Use it, change it and pass it on, at work too.
What you get
- Right-click or F12 for tabs, splits, layouts and window.
- fish as the default shell where available, PowerShell and WSL on Windows.
- Python learning: a REPL in one click, the project .venv and a cheatsheet for common errors.
- Your own AI tools in the menu, only the ones you installed and logged into yourself.
- SSH only when you ask, and a hardware overview that does not track.
The CockPit is built on WezTerm by Wez Furlong, which ships in the packages. Thank you, Wez.
