Glow is a terminal based markdown reader designed from the ground up to bring out the beauty—and power—of the CLI.
Use it to discover markdown files, read documentation directly on the command line. Glow will find local markdown files in subdirectories or a local Git repository.
**The TUI**
Simply run `glow` without arguments to start the textual user interface and browse local. Glow will find local markdown files in the current directory and below or, if you’re in a Git repository, Glow will search the repo.
Markdown files can be read with Glow's high-performance pager. Most of the keystrokes you know from less are the same, but you can press ? to list the hotkeys.
