This is a full-fledged **xterm** terminal emulator, which runs right in your browser and is based on [xterm.js](https://xtermjs.org). The emulator is connected to a *TerminalHandler* instance on the backend over websockets.
This event handler spawns a *bash* session and a *pseudoterminal*. It connects the master end of the pty to the emulator running in your browser and the slave end to bash. This essentially provides a fully functional terminal session for your users in the browser (a convenient alternative for an SSH session).
This terminal is fully under your control: You can write to it (and thus execute commands) and read what commands were executed by the user using the API exposed by the TerminalEventHandler. This enables you to pre-type or execute commands for the user and figure out what they are doing in the terminal.
***
**Available commands**:
* [terminal.write](https://github.com/avatao-content/baseimage-tutorial-framework/wiki/terminal.write)
* [history.bash](https://github.com/avatao-content/baseimage-tutorial-framework/wiki/history.bash)
