Hassle-free Docker container shells.
Download the zero-install binary to a directory on your PATH.
dsh simplifies docker exec -it <container> sh. It automatically determines the available
shells in a container and chooses the best one (e.g. bash > ksh > sh).
Run dsh by itself to get a list of running containers:
$ dsh
1 myapp_nginx-tls_1 1d70e94909a9 myapp_nginx-tls
2 myapp_varnish_1 421ac83e776e myapp_varnish
