The goal of this project is to take the Unix philosophy of shells, where pipes connect simple commands together, and bring it to the modern style of development.

Nu takes cues from a lot of familiar territory: traditional shells like bash, advanced shells like PowerShell, functional programming, systems programming, and more. But rather than trying to be the jack of all trades, Nu focuses its energy on doing a few things well:

Create a flexible cross-platform shell with a modern feel
Allow you to mix and match commandline applications with a shell that understands the structure of your data
Have the level of UX polish that modern CLI apps provide

A shell utility allowing users to navigate to aliased directories supporting auto-completion

modernish is an ambitious, as-yet experimental, cross-platform POSIX shell feature detection and language extension library. It aims to extend the shell language with extensive feature testing and language enhancements, using the power of aliases and functions to extend the shell language using the shell language itself.

SHML is a shell framework for faster and easier script development. HTML has CSS, Unix-like shells have ANSI/VT100 Control Sequences. SHML makes is easy to apply style to your shell scripts without trying to remember that yellow is \033[33m instead it's $(color yellow).

Would you like to use a linux-like console on a Windows host without a lot of fuzz?
