This pull request was created as a result of the following prompt from Copilot chat.

The goal is to include a terminal-like component on the Next.js home page to enhance its functionality and visual appeal. This component should:

1. Design:

   • Have a modern, clean, and minimalistic terminal interface.
   • Use colors and typography that align with the site's aesthetic.
   • Include animations or transitions for a dynamic feel.

2. Functionality:

   • Display placeholder terminal commands and outputs to mimic real terminal behavior.
   • Allow user input (if feasible) with basic command recognition (e.g., help, about).
   • Ensure the component is responsive and accessible.

3. Integration:

   • Position the terminal prominently on the home page without overwhelming other elements.
   • Ensure it complements the existing design and content.

4. Code Quality:

   • Follow best practices for React and Next.js development.
   • Write readable, maintainable code compatible with the existing codebase.
