README.md
Hilbish is a extensible shell (framework). It was made to be very customizable via the Lua programming language. It aims to be easy to use for the casual people but powerful for those who want to tinker more with their shell, the thing used to interface with most of the system.
The motivation for choosing Lua was that its simpler and better to use than old shell script. It's fine for basic interactive shell uses, but that's the only place Hilbish has shell script; everything else is Lua and aims to be infinitely configurable. If something isn't, open an issue!

Installation
Prebuilt binaries
Go here for builds on the master branch.
AUR
Arch Linux users can install Hilbish from the AUR with the following command:
yay -S hilbish
Or from the latest master
commit with:
yay -S hilbish-git
Nixpkgs
Nix/NixOS users can install Hilbish from the central repository, nixpkgs, through the usual ways. If you're new to nix you should probably read up on how to do that here.
Manual Build
Prerequisites
Build
First, clone Hilbish. The recursive is required, as some Lua libraries are submodules.
git clone --recursive https://github.com/Rosettea/Hilbish
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`)
make build
After you did all that, run sudo make install
to install Hilbish globally.
Getting Started
At startup, you should see a message which says to run a guide
command.
This guide is a very simple and basic step through text of what Hilbish is
and where to find documentation.
Documentation is primarily viewed via the in shell doc
command.
Autogenerated function docs and general docs about other things are included
there, so be sure to read it.
Using Hilbish is the same as using any other Linux shell, with an addition
that you can also run Lua. Hilbish can also act as an enhanced Lua REPL
via hilbish.runnerMode 'lua'
. To switch back to normal, use
hilbish.runnerMode 'hybrid'
.
