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.

Installation

Prebuilt binaries

Binaries are provided for the latest commit.

Note that these use Hilbiline, not readline, and may be missing functionality (moving the cursor, proper unicode support and backspace working properly)

Click on the checkmark (or x) near the commit hash, then details for your platform

Then click on the artifacts drop down, and download artifact for your platform, like what is highlighted in the screenshot.

Manual Build

Prerequisites

Go 1.16
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

Install

First, clone Hilbish:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/Hilbis/Hilbish
cd Hilbish

And get dependencies:

go get -d

then, build and install:

make dev
sudo make install
# Or 
sudo make all

Or, if you want the latest stable release:

git checkout $(git describe --tags `git rev-list --tags --max-count=1`)
make build
sudo make install

If you want to use Hilbiline instead, replace make dev/make build with make hilbiline. make build all will still try to use readline.

Alternatively, if you use Arch Linux, you can compile Hilbish with an (unofficial) AUR package:

yay -S hilbish

If you want the latest and greatest, you can install and compile from latest git commit:

yay -S hilbish-git

Uninstall

sudo make uninstall
