Pico

pico.sh is a set of terminal-centric services for developers that rely on SSH and related tools already installed on a user’s system, such as scp, rsync, sftp, and sshfs. The product is designed for developers who want to prototype and publish content without installing additional tooling. Its key capabilities include deploying static sites with a single rsync command, hosting public web services from localhost via SSH tunnels, streaming data between machines using SSH-based pub/sub messaging, and writing a blog with Markdown files uploaded via scp. For static site deployment, users run `rsync --delete -rv ./public/ pgs.sh:/mysite/`, and the site becomes available with TLS handled automatically, including for custom domains. For local web servers, an SSH tunnel using `ssh -R dev:80:localhost:8000 tuns.sh` makes the server accessible on the web. The pipe service allows one terminal to subscribe to a topic and another to publish messages to it, with the subscriber receiving the data. Blogging involves creating a Markdown file and uploading it with `scp hello-world.md prose.sh:/`, which immediately publishes the article. The service is described as a radical experimentation platform that keeps users entirely in the terminal.
