As a developer, I love working with the terminal. The plain, simple, and in my opinion the best way to interact with the computer (also it makes you look geeky).

I spent most of my time in the terminal. By now you must have guessed I am a huge fan of the terminal and terminal-based applications.

Recently I developed an interest in stock markets and started tracking the stock markets. Since I love working with the terminal I decided to build a terminal oriented application that can help me to track the stock market.

Inspired by  wttr.in I build  terminal-stocks which can provide the stock’s current prices, historical prices, and global market summary.

How to use terminal-stocks

terminal-stocks is available and can be used without installation.

1. Get the current price of the stock.

You need to provide the ticker of the stock and terminal-stocks will give you the price information of the stock.  terminal-stocks uses yahoo finance’s ticker to fetch stock information.

2. Get the historical prices of a stock.
