What Makes
Hilbish Great?
The Moon-powered shell
Hilbish makes use of the Lua programming language for interactive and config scripting. If you write Lua on a regular basis, Hilbish will be the perfect resident in your terminal. You can still use shell script, but Lua takes the spotlight (or the moonlight..)
Modern, Helpful Interactive Features
Graphical TUI history, sensible tab completions, elegantly refreshing prompts, name it all and Hilbish either has it or it's 1 suggestion or 1 script away from being possible. Everything present in Hilbish is meant to enhance your interactive shell experience.
Sensible, Friendly Defaults
Hilbish's default config makes a simple but presentable showcase of its Lua API and a few of its features.
Truly Make It Yours
Many things about Hilbish are designed to be changed and swapped out. If you want to make use of a Lua derivative in your interactive use (like Fennel) instead of Lua, that can be done!
To find out all that Hilbish can do, you should just try it out! It's officially available on Linux, MacOS, Windows, and probably builds on anything Go is available on!
