This is a fork of [taskshell](https://github.com/GothenburgBitFactory/taskshell) with a highly reduce codebase. +[![builds.sr.ht status](https://builds.sr.ht/~armaan/gen-shell/commits/.build.yml.svg)](https://builds.sr.ht/~armaan/gen-shell/commits/.build.yml?) + +A simple way to turn any command into a shell with arrow key/history support (if compiled with libreadline). Forked from [taskshell](https://github.com/GothenburgBitFactory/taskshell). ## Usage -Just put the command that you want to repeat after the c flag, eg; `gen-shell -c ls`, or even something much more complex like `gen-shell -c "cd /home/armaa/Clone/words && /home/armaa/Clone/words/bin/words` This command was actually the inspiration for gen-shell. +See `gen-shell --help` ## Installation -### Binaries -Binaries can be downloaded [from here](https://build.bhojwani.org/job/gen-shell/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/build/src/gen-shell). NB: these binaries are compiled against libreadline7, so if your system only has libreadline8, you can 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. +### From a binary +Binaries can be downloaded from [here](https://builds.sr.ht/~armaan/gen-shell/commits/.build.yml) tab above. NB: these binaries are compiled against libreadline version 8 ### From source -If you would like to avoid this, you can build from source. Doing so requires: +Dependencies: - cmake (2.8 or higher) - make - - gcc - g++ (sometimes packaged as gcc-c++ or gcc-g++) - - cpp (11 or higher) - - libreadline development files (7 or 8 is fine, 5 is untested) + - libreadline development files (7 or 8 is fine, 5 is untested) (optional, but highly recommended) -On a Debian or Ubuntu based distribution, you can install these dependencies with this command: ```bash -sudo apt update && sudo apt install cmake make gcc g++ cpp libreadline-dev -``` - -```bash -git clone --recursive https://codeberg.org/armaan/gen-shell +git clone https://git.sr.ht/~armaan/gen-shell cd gen-shell cmake . -make -sudo cp src/gen-shell /usr/bin/ -``` -Or if you don't have root access, you can subsitute the last line with -`cp src/gen-shell ~/.local/bin` - -### Docker -You can also run gen-shell in docker. Simply use -```bash -docker run -it -e CMD= armaanb/gen-shell:latest -``` -Or to build the docker container locally, which ensures that you are using the latest version, or lets you make changes to the source code before building: -```bash -git clone --recursive https:/codeberg.org/armaan/gen-shell -cd gen-shell -docker build --no-cache -t armaanb/gen-shell:latest . -docker run -it -e CMD= armaanb/gen-shell +sudo make install ``` ## License -Following suit from tasksh, gen-shell is MIT licensed by Armaan Bhojwani, 2020.
