A command line utility written in Go to display guitar fretboard, scales and chords in any tuning.
Because I love Go, CLIs and guitar (and Hendrix obviously!)
Jimi does not require any specific package or dependency and can be compiled on Linux, macOS or Windows.
If you do not have Go installed yet, you know what to do.
Just git clone
this repo and run go build
in a terminal from the root directory.
Note for Windows users: The Windows Console may not output colored characters properly. You may use PowerShell instead.
