This shell looks and feels like bash, but works **natively on Windows** (and macOS / Linux)! No emulation needed.

The idea of the `shell` project is to build a cross-platform shell that looks and feels similar to bash (while not claiming to be 100% bash compatible).
The idea of the `shell` project is to build a cross-platform shell that looks and feels similar to bash (while not claiming to be 100% bash compatible). The `shell` allows you to use platform specific native operations (e.g. `cd 'C:\Program Files (x86)'` on Windows), but it also allows you to use a platform-independent strict subset of bash which enables writing build scripts and instructions that work on all platforms.

The project is written in Rust.

The most common bash commands are implemented and we are linking with the `coreutils` crate to provide the most important Unix commands in a cross-platform, memory safe way (such as `mv`, `cp`, `ls`, `cat`, etc.).

This new shell also already has _tab completion_ for files and directories, and _history_ support thanks to `rustyline`.

The project is still very early but can already be used as a daily driver.
