About

ashe is a simple unix single threaded (a)synchronous(she)ll written in C (not POSIX compliant).

It supports job control, all of the redirections, pipelines, conditionals, variable expansion and other basic stuff you would find in bash or fish-shell.

The weird thing that differs from all other shells would be that ashe can recognize terminal lines allowing you to navigate input across terminal lines rather than moving multiple lines in case input wraps across multiple terminal lines.

This means ashe only works with terminals that wrap text. It also doesn't rely on curses/ncurses library, actually it doesn't rely on anything outside the libc (C99).

That being said this shell was made primarily for educational purposes and thus it lacks the real interpreter and many other functionalities you would expect to have in a shell program.
