Germinal is a terminal-based resource monitor for Windows, inspired by tools like htop but built for the modern Windows terminal. It displays live system metrics in a clean TUI layout — CPU, memory, disk usage, network I/O, and running processes. Users can browse and kill processes, monitor network traffic, search and filter results, and navigate everything with keyboard shortcuts.

Written in Go using terminal UI libraries for rendering, the architecture separates data collection from the presentation layer. This keeps the monitor responsive even under heavy system load.
