Summary

Term.everything is a GitHub project that enables running any GUI application directly within a terminal environment, including over SSH connections. The tool converts graphical interfaces into terminal-compatible displays using ASCII/Unicode characters, with quality dependent on terminal resolution. The project includes examples like playing video games and movies in terminal windows, and provides documentation on how the technology works.
