rebound

Rebound is a command-line tool that instantly fetches Stack Overflow results when you get a compiler error. Just use the rebound command to execute your file.

Featured on: awesome-cli-apps, awesome-mac, and the top of /r/Python.

Installation

Rebound works on MacOS, Linux, and Windows, with binary downloads available for every release. You can also install it with pip:

$ pip install rebound-cli

Requires Python 3.0 or higher.

Usage

Running a file with rebound is just as easy as compiling it normally:

$ rebound [file_path]

This will execute the file, pull the error message, and let you browse related Stack Overflow questions and answers without leaving the terminal.

Supported file types: Python and Node.js (Ruby and Java coming soon!).
