gautam-cli

Gautam Vhavle's interactive portfolio—built for your terminal.

One command. No global installation.

npx gautam-cli@latest

View on npm · Source on GitHub · Web portfolio

Why a terminal portfolio?

Because a developer portfolio should feel like the person who built it. gautam-cli turns Gautam's work, experience, and public GitHub activity into a fast keyboard-driven experience—with no account, configuration, or permanent installation.

$ npx gautam-cli@latest

[!TIP] Use the arrow keys to navigate, Enter to select, and Ctrl + C to leave at any time.

Inside the CLI

Gautam is a software engineer, patent holder, and builder working across full-stack products, generative AI, and IoT.

Navigate with your arrow keys to explore:

• Eight projects with full stacks and working website, source, and article actions
• Five engineering roles with complete responsibilities and company links
• 46 technologies grouped across eight engineering disciplines
• Sixteen credentials with issuer, date, skills, and verification links
• Personal story, interests, career highlights, and every contact channel
• Live GitHub statistics, top repositories, and latest DEV articles
• One-key access to the web portfolio, résumé, credentials, and social profiles

| View | What you will find | | ------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | About | Profile, origin story, interests, and career highlights | | Projects | Eight products with individual detail pages and contextual actions | | Experience | Five roles from embedded systems to production GenAI, with full responsibilities | | Toolbox | 46 technologies across product, AI, infrastructure, IoT, quality, and design | | Certifications | Sixteen verified credentials with direct verification links | | Live | Current GitHub activity and recent DEV Community writing | | Connect | Email, calendar, GitHub, LinkedIn, X, Instagram, YouTube, DEV, and Spotify |

Every content section supports drill-down navigation and a clear route back. Link actions open only after an explicit selection, the interface adapts to terminal width, and live data degrades gracefully when the network is unavailable.

Command-line options

The default command starts the interactive experience, while these flags make the package useful in scripts and automation:

npx gautam-cli@latest --help
npx gautam-cli@latest --version
npx gautam-cli@latest --json
npx gautam-cli@latest --no-clear

| Flag | Purpose | | ----------------- | ----------------------------------------------------- | | -h, --help | Show usage without starting an interactive prompt | | -v, --version | Print the installed package version | | --json | Export the portfolio summary as machine-readable JSON | | --no-clear | Preserve previous views in terminal scrollback |

Design principles

• Zero setup — one npx command is enough.
• Useful, not gimmicky — every screen contains real portfolio information.
• Resilient — network-backed features include a clean offline fallback.
• Portable — works anywhere Node.js 18+ runs.
• Interruptible — exits cleanly from any nested prompt with Ctrl + C.
• Small surface area — five focused runtime dependencies and no telemetry.

Local development

git clone https://github.com/GautamVhavle/gautam-cli.git
cd gautam-cli
npm install
npm start

Validate the executable before publishing:

npm run check
npm pack --dry-run

How it works

• @inquirer/prompts for keyboard navigation
• chalk and gradient-string for terminal color
• boxen for responsive panels
• open for portfolio and résumé shortcuts

Live GitHub data comes from GitHub's public API. If the API or network is unavailable, the CLI falls back cleanly to Gautam's profile link.
