Hilbish is an interactive Unix-like shell written in Go, with the config
and other code written in Lua.  
It is sort of in a stable state currently, usable as a daily shell,
but there may still be breaking changes in Lua modules.

### AUR
Arch Linux users can install Hilbish from the AUR.
```sh
yay -S hilbish
```
If you want the latest and greatest, you can install and compile from the latest git commit  
```sh
yay -S hilbish-git
```

### Manual Build
#### Prerequisites
- [Go 1.16](https://go.dev)
- GNU Readline

On Fedora, readline can be installed with:  
```
sudo dnf install readline-devel
```  

On Debian/Ubuntu and distros based on them, it can be installed with:  
```
sudo apt install libreadline-dev
```

On OpenSUSE, it can be installed with:
```
sudo zypper install readline-devel
```

On Arch Linux, it can be installed with:
```
sudo pacman -S readline
```

#### Build
First, clone Hilbish:
```sh
git clone --recursive https://github.com/Hilbis/Hilbish
cd Hilbish
# If you want the latest stable release, run this following command
git checkout $(git describe --tags `git rev-list --tags --max-count=1`)
```   

And get dependencies and build:  
```sh
go get -d all
make dev
```

If you `git checkout`'d the latest stable release, run
`make build` instead of `make dev`.  
or want to experiment Hilbiline, instead run
`make hilbiline`
