Terminal/CLI Web Text

webterminal

v0.1

A filtered extract of terminal and command-line content from two large web-text corpora.

Sources

  • DCLM (Zyphra/dclm-dedup)
  • FineWeb (Salesforce/fineweb_deduplicated)

How it was built

  1. Fast filter: skip any document that doesn't contain obvious CLI indicators ($, sudo, pip install, ```bash, root@, etc.)
  2. Score: remaining docs are scored (0-34) across five signals, each with a per-match point value and a cap:
Filter Description Points Cap
Prompt patterns Shell prompts like $ cmd, user@host:~$, >>>, root@, PS C:\ 2 per match 10
CLI commands Known commands: sudo, apt-get, pip install, git clone, docker run, curl, ssh, gcc, etc. (30+ patterns) 1 per unique match 8
stdout patterns Output indicators: "successfully installed", "cloning into", drwx (ls output), "packets transmitted", "traceback", version strings 2 per match 6
Code blocks Terminal-flavored code blocks: ```bash, ```shell, <pre><code>, terminal/console div classes 2 per match 6
Indented blocks 3+ consecutive lines indented 4+ spaces (code/output blocks) 1 per match 4

Documents scoring >=5 are kept.

  1. Dedup: exact dedup across both datasets using xxhash64 on full text.

Use case

Mostly for upsampling agentic-adjacent data during pretraining.
