doitlive is a command-line tool for live presentations in the terminal that replays pre-written shell commands as you type random characters.
The tool solves the problem of executing commands reliably during live coding demonstrations without the risk of typos or mistakes breaking the flow. It reads a file containing shell commands and simulates typing them out in real time as the presenter enters keystrokes, creating the illusion of live coding while ensuring every command executes exactly as intended.
Anyone giving technical presentations or demonstrations should consider doitlive if they want to show working code without the anxiety of live typing. It suits any scenario where you need to execute a sequence of shell commands in front of an audience—conference talks, tutorials, workshops, or training sessions. The tool works with bash and zsh shells and can be installed via package managers or pip, making it accessible across different development environments.
The project maintains active continuous integration with automated build and release workflows. Documentation is comprehensive and kept current alongside the codebase. The tool has established distribution channels through both package managers and PyPI, indicating sustained maintenance and accessibility for users.
