0.1.0

The first release of Taco Shells, a terminal manager for macOS.

It runs as many terminals as you like and lists them in a sidebar, each row named by whatever the program in it publishes as its title. You switch by clicking a row and reorder by dragging one. Splitting a terminal puts its panes side by side with a divider you can drag, and brackets their rows together so a group reads as a group. A split starts in the directory the terminal you split was sitting in.

Settings and keybindings live in ~/.taco-shells, written on first launch holding the defaults, so the file you open is the list of everything you can change. Edits apply when you save, without a restart.

Early software, and Apple silicon only.

Installing

Download the dmg, open it, and drag Taco Shells into Applications. macOS refuses to open it until the quarantine flag is cleared:

xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine "/Applications/Taco Shells.app"

The app is ad-hoc signed and not notarised, so a downloaded copy is reported as damaged rather than merely unverified until that attribute is gone.
