vsh

A blazingly fast shell made in Rust 🦀

This is a shell made for the sophisticated power user. It's far from finished yet, but the main motive is to create a hyperextensible shell with all the features of previous generations added with tools geared towards improving your workflow.

Installation

1. Install via wget

Install via running the following commands

sudo wget https://github.com/vaimer9/vsh/releases/latest/download/vsh -q -P /bin
sudo chmod +x /bin/vsh

2. Manual Install

1. Clone the Repository
2. Make sure you have rustup installed
3. Make sure you have build-essential installed
4. Go into the cloned repository and run make install

vsh will be installed in /bin directory by default, you can change this via changing line #11 in Makefile

Customization

On first run, vsh will automatically create .vshrc.toml. Any customization is done there. Here is the default config:

[prompt]
theme="&[#7393B3]`[`{{current_dir}}`] `"

[misc]
alias = [
	["", ""]
]

[effects]
underlined = false
bold = true
dimmed = false
suggestion_color = "red"

truecolors = false
true_suggestion_color = [255, 0, 0]

Example Config file

This is my personal config, as an example:

[prompt]
theme="&[#7393B3]`[`{{current_dir}}`] `"

As you can see customizing isn't that hard and doesn't require too much code. I will be improving the level of customization possible! See this documentation for more info on themes
