📋 Prerequisites

🥟 Bun ≥ 1.3 — OpenTUI is Bun-exclusive.

:octocat: GitHub Copilot CLI installed and authenticated (copilot on your PATH, signed in with a Copilot-enabled account).

🚀 Install

git clone <this-repo>
cd emoji-list-generator
bun install

🛠 Usage

bun start

1. The TUI opens with a text area focused.
2. Type or paste your bullet points (one per line, -, *, or + markers).
3. Press Ctrl+S to generate.
4. The result appears in the panel below and is copied to your clipboard.
5. Press Ctrl+L to clear and start over, or Ctrl+C to quit.

🌍 Install globally (run emoji-list from anywhere)

The package.json declares a bin named emoji-list. Register it globally with Bun:

# From inside this repo
bun link

# Then, from any directory
emoji-list

To unregister later: bun unlink (from this repo) or bun remove -g emoji-list-generator.

Alternative: publish or install by path

# Install straight from a local folder as a global package
bun install -g /absolute/path/to/emoji-list-generator

Windows PATH note

bun link places a shim in %USERPROFILE%\.bun\bin (added to your PATH by the Bun installer). If emoji-list isn't found after linking, open a new terminal window — PATH changes don't apply to already-open shells.
