Can This Terminal Change How You Code?

We just launched a brand new terminal UI for Nx, built entirely in Rust. It dramatically improves the way you run and manage tasks in your monorepo, especially when dealing with multiple long-running (continuous) processes like dev servers, buildable libs in watch-mode, and more. In this video, I walk you through the new terminal experience, demo how it works with continuous tasks, and show you how it enhances both local dev and CI workflows.
You’ll learn:
- How the new terminal improves task visibility
- How to manage multiple pinned tasks
- How to interact with task outputs in real-time
- Hotkeys, filters, and layout tricks for large monorepos
