If Hilbish has been installed and is not the
|
|
default shell, you can simply run <code>hilbish</code> to start it. This will launch
|
|
a normal interactive session.
|
|
To exit, you can either run the <code>exit</code> command or hit Ctrl+D.</p><h2 id=setting-as-default>Setting as Default</h2><h3 id=login-shell>Login shell</h3><p>There are a few ways to make Hilbish your default shell. A simple way is
|
|
to make it your user/login shell.</p><div class="alert alert-warning d-flex align-items-center" role=alert><svg class="bi flex-shrink-0 me-2" width="24" height="24" role="img" aria-label="Warning:"><use xlink:href="#exclamation-triangle-fill"/></svg><div>It is not recommended to set Hilbish as your login shell. That is expected to be a
|
|
POSIX compliant shell, which Hilbish is not. At most, there will just be a
|
|
few variables missing in your environment</div></div><p>To do that, simply run <code>chsh -s /usr/bin/hilbish</code>.
|
|
Some distros (namely Fedora) might have <code>lchsh</code> instead, which is used like <code>lchsh <user></code>.
|
|
When prompted, you can put the path for Hilbish.</p><h3 id=default-with-terminal>Default with terminal</h3><p>The simpler way is to set the default shell for your terminal. The way of
|
|
doing this depends on how your terminal settings are configured.</p><h3 id=run-after-login-shell>Run after login shell</h3><p>Some shells (like zsh) have an rc file, like <code>.zlogin</code>, which is ran when the shell session
|
|
is a login shell. In that file, you can run Hilbish. Example:</p><pre tabindex=0><code>exec hilbish -S -l
|
|
</code></pre><p>This will replace the shell with Hilbish, set $SHELL to Hilbish and launch it as a login shell.</p><h2 id=configuration>Configuration</h2><p>Once installation and setup has been done, you can then configure Hilbish.
|
|
It is configured and scripted via Lua, so the config file is a Lua file.
|
|
You can use any pure Lua library to do whatever you want.</p><p>Hilbish’s sample configuration is usually located in <code>hilbish.dataDir .. '/.hilbishrc.lua'</code>.
|
|
You can print that path via Lua to see what it is: <code>print(hilbish.dataDir .. '/.hilbishrc.lua')</code>.
|
|
As an example, it will usually will result in <code>/usr/share/hilbish/.hilbishrc.lua</code> on Linux.</p><p>To edit your user configuration, you can copy that file to <code>hilbish.userDir.config .. '/hilbish/init.lua'</code>,
|
|
which follows XDG on Linux and MacOS, and is located in %APPDATA% on Windows.</p><p>As the directory is usually <code>~/.config</code> on Linux, you can run this command to copy it:<br><code>cp /usr/share/hilbish/.hilbishrc.lua ~/.config/hilbish/init.lua</code></p><p>Now you can get to editing it. Since it’s just a Lua file, having basic
|
|
knowledge of Lua would help. All of Lua’s standard libraries and functions
|
|
from Lua 5.4 are available. Hilbish has some custom and modules that are
|
|
available. To see them, you can run the <code>doc</code> command. This also works as
|
|
general documentation for other things.</p></div><div class="footer mt-auto"><p class="card-small text-muted">Want to help improve this page? <a href=https://github.com/Rosettea/Hilbish/issues/new/choose>Create an issue.</a></p></div></div></div><footer class="footer mt-auto mt-auto py-3 bg-light row"><div class="col mb-3"></div><div class="col mb-3"><a href=/Hilbish class="d-flex align-items-center mb-3 link-dark text-decoration-none"><img src=/Hilbish/hilbish-flower.png alt height=48 class="d-inline-block align-text-top"></a><p class=text-muted>Rosettea © 2022<br>Made with <i class="fa-solid fa-heart" style=color:#f6345b></i></p></div><div class="col mb-3"></div><div class="col mb-3"></div><div class="col mb-3"></div><div class="col mb-3"><h5>Hilbish</h5><ul class="nav flex-column"><li class="nav-item mb-2"><a href=/Hilbish class="nav-link p-0 text-muted">Home</a></li><li class="nav-item mb-2"><a href=/Hilbish/docs/faq class="nav-link p-0 text-muted">FAQ</a></li><li class="nav-item mb-2"><a href=https://github.com/Rosettea/Hilbish class="nav-link p-0 text-muted">Source</a></li><li class="nav-item mb-2"><a href=https://github.com/Rosettea/Hilbish/releases class="nav-link p-0 text-muted">Releases</a></li><li class="nav-item mb-2"><a href=/Hilbish/docs class="nav-link p-0 text-muted">Documentation</a></li></ul></div><div class="col mb-3"></div></footer></body></html> |
