Data

A terminal data-controller with dynamic auto-complete features, that is built with ruby. You may want to even store credentials such as Bank Account / Password details - however, do this is at your own risk as anyone who has your unlocked linux machine / has SSH-access to your linux machine can navigate to the info/ directory generated by the codes, to view all the data.

(2) gem install terminal-table
