Hilbish is a extensible shell (framework). It was made to be very customizable
via the Lua programming language. It aims to be easy to use for the casual
people but powerful for those who want to tinker more with their shell,
the thing used to interface with most of the system.
The motivation for choosing Lua was that its simpler and better to use
than old shell script. It's fine for basic interactive shell uses,
but that's the only place Hilbish has shell script; everything else is Lua
and aims to be infinitely configurable. If something isn't, open an issue!

If you're new to nix you should probably read up on how to do that [here](https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Cheatsheet).
## Manual Build
### Prerequisites
- [Go 1.17+](https://go.dev)
2022-03-23 01:59:34 +00:00
### Build
First, clone Hilbish. The recursive is required, as some Lua libraries
are submodules.
```sh
2021-10-12 20:01:17 +00:00
git clone --recursive https://github.com/Rosettea/Hilbish
2021-03-20 05:45:17 +00:00
cd Hilbish
2021-10-12 20:01:17 +00:00
go get -d ./...
```
2021-10-12 20:01:17 +00:00
To build, run:
2021-03-20 05:45:17 +00:00
```
2021-10-12 20:01:17 +00:00
make dev
```
2021-06-09 22:16:04 +00:00
2021-10-12 20:01:17 +00:00
Or, if you want a stable branch, run these commands:
```
2021-10-12 20:01:17 +00:00
git checkout $(git describe --tags `git rev-list --tags --max-count=1`)
make build
```
2021-03-20 05:45:17 +00:00
2021-10-12 20:01:17 +00:00
After you did all that, run `sudo make install` to install Hilbish globally.

# Getting Started
At startup, you should see a message which says to run a `guide` command.
2022-04-04 01:43:13 +00:00
This guide is a *very* simple and basic step through text of what Hilbish is
2022-03-23 01:59:34 +00:00
and where to find documentation.
Documentation is primarily viewed via the in shell `doc` command.
Autogenerated function docs and general docs about other things are included
there, so be sure to read it.
Using Hilbish is the same as using any other Linux shell, with an addition
that you can also run Lua. Hilbish can also act as an enhanced Lua REPL
via `hilbish.runnerMode 'lua'`. To switch back to normal, use
`hilbish.runnerMode 'hybrid'`.
