-`hilbish.interactive` and `hilbish.login` properties to figure out if Hilbish is interactive or a login shell, respectively.
-`hilbish.read` function to take input more elegantly than Lua's `io.read`
- Tab Completion Enhancements
- A new tab complete API has been added. It is the single `complete` function which takes a "scope" and a callback which is
expected to return a table. Users can now add custom completions for specific commands.
An example is:
```lua
complete('command.git', function()
return {
'add',
'version',
commit = {
'--message',
'--verbose',
'<file>'
}
}
end)
```
For `git`, Hilbish will complete commands add, version and commit. For the commit subcommand, it will complete the flags and/or files which `<file>` is used to represent.
- Hilbish will now complete binaries in $PATH, or any executable to a path (like `./` or `../`)
- Files with spaces will be automatically put in quotes and completions will work for them now.
-`prependPath` function (#81)
- Signal hooks (#80)
- This allows scripts to add their own way of handling terminal resizes (if you'd need that) or Ctrl-C
- Module properties (like `hilbish.ver`) are documented with the `doc` command.
- Hilbish will expand `~` in the preloadPath and samplePathConf variables. These are for compile time.
- On Windows, the hostname in `%u` has been removed.
- Made it easier to compile on Windows by adding Windows-tailored vars and paths.
- Add require paths `./libs/?/?.lua`
- Hilbish will now respect $XDG_CONFIG_HOME and will load its config and history there first and use Lua libraries in there and $XDG_DATA_HOME if they are set. (#71)
- If not, Hilbish will still default to `~`
- Added some new hooks
-`command.precmd` is thrown right before Hilbish prompts for input
-`command.preexec` is thrown right before Hilbish executes a command. It passes 2 arguments: the command as the user typed, and what Hilbish will actually execute (resolved alias)
-`hilbish.dataDir` is now available to know the directory of Hilbish data files (default config, docs, preload, etc)
- A `docgen` program has been added to `cmd/docgen` in the GitHub repository, As the name suggests, it will output docs in a `docs` folder for functions implemented in Go
- All hilbish modules/libraries now have a `__doc` metatable entry which is simply a short description of the module.
-`fs.readdir(dir)` has been added. It will return a table of files in `dir`
- Errors in the `fs.mkdir` function are now handled.
- **Breaking Change:** `fs.cd` no longer returns a numeric code to indicate error. Instead, it returns an error message.
- The `doc` command has been added to document functions of Hilbish libraries. Run the command for more details.
-`link(url, text)` has been added to `ansikit`. It returns a string which can be printed to produce a hyperlink in a terminal. Note that not all terminals support this feature.
- The [Succulent](https://github.com/Rosettea/Succulent) library has been added. This includes more utility functions and expansions to the Lua standard library itself.
- The command string is now passed to the `command.exit` hook
-`-n` flag, which checks Lua for syntax errors without running it
-`exec(command)` function, acts like the `exec` builtin in sh
- Example: `exec 'awesome'` in an .xinitrc file with Hilbish as shebang
- Commands from commander can now `return` an exit code
```lua
commander.register('false', function()
return 1
end)
```
When `false` is run, it will have the exit code of `1`, this is shorter/easier than throwing the command.exit hook and can work if the functionality of that changes
- Added `-c` description
-`args` variable, set when Hilbish runs a Lua script. It is an array that includes the execute path as the first argument
- Lua code can be aliased
- Recursive aliases
- At the moment this only works for the first argument
- Hilbish can now be used with Hilbiline if compiled to do so (currently only for testing purposes)
-`goro(func)` runs a `func`tion in a goroutine. With channels that gopher-lua also provides, one can do parallelism and concurrency in Lua (but go style).
-`coroutine` no those dont exist they dont matter `goro` is easier
-`cd -` will change to the previous directory
-`hilbish.cwd()` gets the current working directory
-`timeout(func, time)` works exactly like the `setTimeout` function in JavaScript. It will run `func` after a period of `time` in milliseconds.
-`interval(func, time)` works exactly like the `setInterval` function in JavaScripit. It will run `func` every `time` milliseconds
-`hilbish.home` is a crossplatform Lua alternative to get the home directory easily.
-`commander.deregister(cmdName)` de-registers any command defined with commander.
- **Breaking Change**: Move `_user` and `_ver` to a global `hilbish` table
- Accessing username and Hilbish version is now done with `hilbish.user` and `hilbish.ver`
-`hilbish.run(cmd)` runs cmd with Hilbish's sh interpreter. Using this function instead of `os.execute` ensures that sh syntax works everywhere Hilbish does.
-`hilbish.flag(flag)` checks if flag has been passed to Hilbish.
- Aliases now work with every command and not only the first one
- Therefore `alias1; alias2` works now
-`command.not-found` hook
-`$SHLVL` is now incremented in Hilbish. If not a valid number, it will be changed to 1
-`fs.mkdir` can now make directories recursively if the 2nd argument is set to `true`
-`fs.mkdir('path/to/dir', true)`
- Hilbish runs a `preload.lua` file in the current directory first, then falls back to the global preload. Before the order was reversed.
- Check if aliased command is defined in Lua, so registered `commander`s can be aliased
- Add input to history before alias expansion. Basically, this adds the actual alias to history instead of the aliased command.
- Global preload path, require paths, default config directory and sample config directory can now be changed at compile time to help support other systems.
- Ctrl C in the prompt now cancels/clear input (I've needed this for so long also)
- Made Hilbish act like a login shell on login
- If Hilbish is the login shell, or the `-l`/`--login` flags are used, Hilbish will use an additional `~/.hprofile.lua` file, you can use this to set environment variables once on login
-`-c` has been added to run a single command (this works exactly like being in the prompt would, so Lua works as well)
-`-i` (also `--interactive`) has been added to force Hilbish to be an interactive shell in cases where it usually wont be (like with `-c`)
- Use readline in continue prompt
- Added a `mulitline` hook that's thrown when in the continue/multiline prompt
- Added `appendPath` function to append a directory to `$PATH`
-`~` will be expanded to `$HOME` as well
- A utility `string.split` function is now added
-`string.split(str, delimiter)`
- Added a `_user` variable to easily get current user's name
- **BREAKING Change**: [Lunacolors](https://github.com/Hilbis/Lunacolors) has replaced ansikit for formatting colors, which means the format function has been removed from ansikit and moved to Lunacolors.
- Users must replace ansikit with `lunacolors` in their config files
- A getopt-like library is now used for command line flag parsing
-`cd` builtin now supports using environment variables
- This means you can now `cd $NVM_DIR` as an example
- Function arguments are now more strictly typed (`prompt(nil)` wouldnt work now)
- Other general code/style changes
## Fixed
- Fix makefile adding Hilbish to `/etc/shells` on every `make install`
Since Lunacolors is a submodule, you may just want to completely reclone Hilbish recursively and then update (rerun `make install`)
Or instead of recloning, run `git submodule update --init --recursive` in Hilbish's git directory
## [0.3.2] - 2021-04-10
### Added
- Add more functions to `ansikit` module
- Add functions `stat` and `mkdir` to `fs` module
-`-C` flag to define path to config
- Add require path `~/.local/share/hilbish/libs`
### Changed
- Continue to new line if output doesnt end with it
- Fix `%u` in prompt format being full name and instead make it actually username
## [0.3.0] - 2021-04-05
### Added
- Added a `multiprompt` function to change the prompt of the multiline/continuation/newline prompt
-`_ver` variable to get Hilbish's version from Lua
### Changed
- **BREAKING Change**: Removed Bait hooks `command.success` and `command.fail`, there is now the single hook `command.exit`, with a single argument passed which the exit code of the command. Use this to determine if a command has failed or not (failure is code != 0)
- **BREAKING Change**: The Ansikit function `text` has been renamed to `format`.
-`fs.cd` now throws an exception instead of silently failing, which you should handle with `pcall`
- Enhancements to the `cd` command:
- With no arguments will move to $HOME
- Now throws a cd hook, with a single hook arg being the arguments to the command
- Now works for directories with spaces
- Lua input now throws a success hook if it succeeded
- Command history is now saved to `~/.hilbish-history`
- Globals defined in Lua that are strings will be defined as an env variable ([#16](https://github.com/Rosettea/Hilbish/pull/16))
- Input ending with `\` will now go to a newline
-`exit` command is now written in Lua
### Fixed
- Input is now trimmed
- Internals are slightly cleaned up and codebase split up
- Hilbish will now fall back to a builtin minimal config if the user's config has syntax errors on loading
- Commands defined in Lua now report the error to the user cleanly instead of panicking if it has occured
## [0.2.0] - 2021-03-31
### Added
- Hooks (events) are the new and main thing in v0.2, you can now listen for hooks or cast out (emit) custom ones, via the [bait](https://github.com/Hilbis/Hilbish/wiki/Bait) package
-`^^` to refer to the previous command. It's for the lazy hands like me, so I can do something like `ENV=VAR ^^`
- Way more (more like any) comments in the core code.
### Changed
- Prompt has been changed to have printf-like verbs to format. This makes it easier on the user's side to configure, and doesn't require hooks to change it for things like current directory.
- Default prompt's changed and the triangle changes color based on if command failed or not.
## [0.1.2] - 2021-03-24
### Added
- Add Lua input to history
## [0.1.1] - 2021-03-24
### Added
- Go to new line if sh input is incomplete
```bash
> for i in {1..5}
```
This input for example will prompt for more input to complete:
