This is a fork of [taskshell](https://github.com/GothenburgBitFactory/taskshell) with a highly reduce codebase. +A simple way to turn any command into a REPL with arrow key/history support. ## Usage -Just put the command that you want to repeat as the argument +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). Note that 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 source -If you would like to avoid this, you can build from source. Doing so requires: - - cmake (2.8 or higher) - - make - - gcc - - g++ (sometimes packaged as gcc-c++ or gcc-g++) - - cpp (11 or higher) +Dependencies: + - POSIX make + - a c++ compiler and standard library - libreadline development files (7 or 8 is fine, 5 is untested) -```bash -git clone https://codeberg.org/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 -```bash -git clone https://codeberg.org/armaan/gen-shell -cd gen-shell -docker build -t armaanb/gen-shell:latest . -docker run -it -e CMD= armaanb/gen-shell +make +make install ``` ## License -Following suit from tasksh, gen-shell is MIT licensed by Armaan Bhojwani, 2020.
