Disclaimer:

This program may not always work as intended. Use it at your own risk, especially in production environments or large projects.

The program was primarily tested on Arch Linux. Other Linux distributions may behave differently.

Most operations require sudo permissions (except for listing functions), so make sure you understand what the program does before using it.

Usage:

Navigate between shells using their commands. For example, type 'user' or 'u' to enter the user shell mode. Inside each shell you can execute commands related to that category. Each shell also provides its own help functions.
