  execute(command: string): string {
    const output = this.processCommand(command)
    this.history.push({
      command,
      output,
      timestamp: new Date()
    })
    return output
  }
  
  private processCommand(cmd: string): string {
    switch (cmd.toLowerCase()) {
      case 'help':
        return 'Available commands: help, clear, ls, pwd'
      case 'clear':
        this.history = []
        return 'Terminal cleared'
      case 'ls':
        return 'posts/  components/  lib/  public/'
      case 'pwd':
        return '/home/user/terminal-blog'
      default:
        return `Command not found: ${cmd}`
    }
  }
}

Python

#!/usr/bin/env python3

class TerminalTheme:
    def __init__(self):
        self.colors = {

        }
    
    def render_prompt(self, user='user', path='~'):
        return f"{user}@terminal:{path}$ "
    
    def colorize(self, text, color):
        if color in self.colors:
            return f"\033[38;2;{self.hex_to_rgb(self.colors[color])}m{text}\033[0m"
        return text
    
    def hex_to_rgb(self, hex_color):
        hex_color = hex_color.lstrip('#')
        return ';'.join(str(int(hex_color[i:i+2], 16)) for i in (0, 2, 4))
