   3 === WORK IN PROGRSS ===
   4 A simple way to turn any command into a shell with arrow key/history suppoert. This is a fork of [taskshell](https://github.com/GothenburgBitFactory/taskshell) with a highly reduce codebase.
   5
   6 ## Usage
   7 Just put the command that you want to repeat as the argument
   8
   9 ## Installation
  10 Binaries can be downloaded [from here](https://build.bhojwani.org/job/gen-shell/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/build/src/gen-shell). Note that these binaries are compiled against libreadline7, so if your system only has libreadline8, you should symlink 8 to 7 with `sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libreadline.so.8.0 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libreadline.so.7`. This isn't a great solution, but it gets the job done.

  12 If you would like to avoid this, you can build from source. Doing so requires:
  13   - CMake
  14   - g++
  15   - libreadline development files
  16
  17 ```bash
  18 git clone https://codeberg.org/armaan/gen-shell
  19 cd gen-shell
  20 cmake .
  21 make
  22 sudo cp src/gen-shell /usr/bin/
  23 ```
  24 Or if you don't have root access, you can subsitute the last line with
  25 `cp src/gen-shell ~/.local/bin`
