follow is a TUI tool for tracking and understanding the commands your coding agents run. It intercepts every command and queries a local explainshell server to display explanations in a sidepane you can open with C-f.
# Install
cargo install --git https://github.com/emilschmitz/follow.git --bin flw
# Run
flw claude # (or whatever agent you prefer)Toggle explanations inside the shell by pressing Ctrl+F.
If you have Rust and Cargo installed, you can compile and install follow directly from the Git repository:
cargo install --git https://github.com/emilschmitz/follow.git --bin flwThis will build the binary and place it in your local cargo bin directory (~/.cargo/bin/flw), which is typically already in your shell's PATH.
