XenoAtom.Terminal.UI comes with a few runnable demos that showcase different parts of the library.
You can run all demos directly from source with dotnet run -c Release --project <path>.
These demos are also intended to be published as global .NET tools (NuGet) so you can install and run them without cloning the repository.
