In plain English

This is a curated list of plugins, themes, and resources for Hyper, a terminal emulator built on web technologies. A terminal emulator is a program that gives you a text-based window for typing commands into your computer, similar to the default Terminal app on a Mac or the Command Prompt on Windows. Hyper is distinctive because it is built with JavaScript and can be extended with plugins the same way a web browser can be extended with add-ons. The list is organized into a few categories. The packages section covers plugins that add new functionality to Hyper, such as a status bar showing your current folder and Git branch, a global hotkey to show or hide the terminal from anywhere on your computer, the ability to open new tabs in the same folder you were already in, and tools for broadcasting what you type to multiple terminal windows at once. There are also smaller quality-of-life additions like safer pasting, clickable URLs, and a search function within the terminal output. The themes section lists visual style packs that change the colors and appearance of the terminal. Because Hyper is built on CSS, themes work much like stylesheets on a webpage, and there is a large variety of dark and light color schemes available. The resources section points to documentation, guides, and other learning materials related to Hyper and its ecosystem. This repository does not contain any code itself. It is purely a reference document maintained by the community. Anyone can submit a pull request to add a new plugin, theme, or resource. The list follows the "awesome list" convention common on GitHub, where community members gather useful links around a specific tool or topic in one place. The full list is longer than what was shown.
