Elvish is a great alternative shell, with a much simpler and a less-cruft™ experience compared to bash or zsh. It uses modules with namespaces you load to add functions.
cmds.elv— utility functions to perform helpful shell actions like add/remove (append-to-path,prepend-to-path,remove-from-path) or filter (filter,filter-out,filter-re,filter-re-out) lists like the path list; checking if executables are present (if-external) and others.ai.elv— Use an OpenAI-compatible API to ask an LLM a question:ai:ask. You can define the system prompt:$ai:system_prompt, the API base address:$ai:api_base, the API key:ai:api_key(can be stored at~/.config/elvish/.key). Different model names can be stored in the map$ai:models. For example:ai:ask "What is the Capital of ghana?" &model=hermes— you can use local LLM apps LM-Studio and GPT4All, but it should work with any compatible local/cloud API provider.mamba.elv— support for conda / mamba / micromamba package manager (note: only tested with micromamba).python.elv— a slight modification of iwoloschin's python module to support officialvenvvirtual environments.
