🌺 The flower shell. A comfy and nice little shell for Lua users and fans!

Hilbish is a Unix-y shell which uses Lua for scripting. Things like the prompt, general configuration and such are done with Lua.

For interactive use, it uses a library to run sh which works on all platforms Hilbish can be compiled for. It can also act as a Lua REPL if you want it to be.

Manual Build

cd Hilbish
go get -d ./...

To build, run:

make dev

Or, if you want a stable branch, run these commands:

git checkout $(git describe --tags `git rev-list --tags --max-count=1`)
