AurSh

A cross platform shell to make the command line aesthetically pleasing

A cross compatible shell developed in C# by Tezzz, is a system shell similar to most shells like bash, zsh and fish.

This is basically a rewrite of Linuxify, my old project. But cross compatible between different Operating Systems: e.g. Linux, Windows, MacOS and Termux(Android).

It has a two line prompt with modern looking UI like PowerLevel10k thats verbose by nature and it has its own plug-in sytem using lua or F# scripts to allow you to extend the shell with custom behavior. The plugin system has passive and active plugins allowing you to make new commands or create new behaviors for the shell.

It also has file associations, so you can associate file extensions with their respective compiler or interpreter.

Make sure you use the font JetBrainsMono Nerd Font installed for the prompt to look the way it good.

Has:

• Shell Scripting: .aur scripts
• A rc script: .aurc
• Piping and redirection
• ghost text and auto suggestions
• Persistent History
• Environmental variable handling.
• resolves commands to native OS Commands.
• Job control.
• Plug-in system using lua or F# (aursh-plugin <add,list,del,init>)
• File Association (e.g: aursh-assoc .py "python", then: ./script.py arg...)

Once you have them installed simply run make install-user for current user installation and make install for system wide installation or you can use .Net's MSBuild to install the shell: dotnet msbuild build.proj -t:Install for system wide installation or dotnet msbuild build.proj -t:InstallUser for current user installation.

dotnet msbuild build.proj -t:Install
