Looking for a coding partner, one terminal at a time.

This repository is the home of pair-terminal — a CLI tool for live,
end-to-end-encrypted terminal pair programming, plus a relay server. The
original "Wuma / 无码" social-platform idea from 2013–2015 still lives in
HISTORY.md and the archive/ directory, kept for
reference only.

Quick start — pair-terminal

cd pair-terminal

# Build everything
cargo build --all

# Run the relay server (axum + SQLite, defaults to 0.0.0.0:8080)
cargo run -p pair-server

# In another terminal: share your session
cargo run -p pair -- share --mode collab

# On a partner's machine: join using the pair:// URL
cargo run -p pair -- join "pair://<terminal_id>#<bootstrap_key>"

# Or: get auto-matched with someone looking for the same stack
cargo run -p pair -- match --lang rust --skill intermediate

The relay server uses pair.db in the current directory by default. The
client and server talk over WebSockets; all PTY traffic is end-to-end
encrypted with AES-128-GCM (key bootstrap lives in the pair:// URL).

Features

  • End-to-end encryption — AES-128-GCM with automatic 1M-message key rotation
  • Three pair modes — Driver (host only), Navigator (guest only), Collaborative (both)
  • Session recording — asciinema v2 format, replay with pair replay
  • Skill-based matchmaking — Jaccard language overlap + skill-level compatibility
  • TUI status bar — Ctrl+T help, chat, mode switching
  • Connection limits — server caps at 1,000 concurrent connections

Full docs, architecture, and protocol details live in
pair-terminal/README.md.

Development

cd pair-terminal

cargo fmt --all -- --check        # formatting (CI enforces)
cargo clippy --all --all-targets -- -D warnings   # lints (CI enforces)
cargo test --all                  # 31 tests across 3 crates
cargo build --all                 # release build

CI runs the same four checks on every push (see
.github/workflows/ci.yml) plus a
rustsec/audit-check job.
