 A simple way to turn any command into a shell with arrow key/history support. This is a fork of [taskshell](https://github.com/GothenburgBitFactory/taskshell) with a highly reduce codebase.
 
 ## Usage
-Just put the command that you want to repeat after `gen-shell`, eg; `gen-shell ls`, or even something much more complex like `gen-shell "cd /home/armaa/Clone/words && /home/armaa/Clone/words/bin/words` This command was actually the inspiration for gen-shell.
+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.
