         | the name. I'll edit this if I was wrong, but I bet I won't be.

         | Perfmon essentially allows you to define commands you use
         | daily, defined them in a toml file and tab them, ie
         | customizable. It could be docker or kubernetes commands and so
         | on. This is different from btm.
         | 
         | Bottom(btm) gives just more graphical than top.

       | panes. What's the advantage of perfmon?

       | Wow, looks great. Just a quick general recommendations:
       | 
       | You should give a direct curl to an install.sh to provide a
       | simpler installation step for you tool and besides I think it
       | would be good to publish it on home brew for MacOS users.
       | 
       | This post came in a good moment because I am developing a CLI and
       | I want to add some interactivity to it in the next major version
       | and in some way your CLI has helped me with that.
       | 
       | This is my CLI (https://github.com/elC0mpa/aws-doctor)
       | 
       | There you can check how I implemented the home brew distribution
       | and the install.sh file for the easy installation step
