Demos & Screenshots

Short video tours and still captures of XShell in the native Python terminal and in the browser web terminal (python main.py --web).

Keeping images in sync

Screenshots live under static/img/demo/ at the repository root. The docs build serves copies from docs-site/static/img/demo/. After you add or rename files in the root folder, sync the docs tree:

cp static/img/demo/*.png docs-site/static/img/demo/
