Glow brings styled markdown rendering to the terminal with both a TUI for browsing and a CLI for direct rendering. It intelligently detects your terminal background and applies appropriate styling, while supporting multiple input sources including local files, GitHub/GitLab repos, and HTTP URLs. The pager-based interface makes reading long documentation comfortable with familiar keyboard shortcuts.
