Let hucksh remember it for you
hucksh is a new kind of shell, with a GUI client, a backend server, and a queryable database.
What makes hucksh different?
Why would you want to switch?
Save your output
Every command you run, and its output, is saved in a database. Disk is cheap, you might as well do something with it.
Directory Browser
Easily navigate the directory structure, even over a network.
Directory history browser
Easily revisit any directory you’ve ever been to before.
GUI
Interact with your computer in a whole new way.
Edit locally, run remotely
Compose your command locally, without a back-and-forth to the remote server for every keystroke. Great for high-latency networks.
Pick up from where you left off
Server restart? No problem! hucksh restores all your tabs just the way they were.
What can you do with a GUI shell?
We’re just getting started. Here are some samples.
Popout a command into a new top-level window
- Easily look at previous commands
- Look at two commands at once
- Look at the different parts of a single command at the same time
Completion lists as buttons
- Complete filenames, command names, or environment $variables
- Use the whole screen
- Navigate with the keyboard or click with the mouse
Easily recall and filter command history
- Filter command history live, instantly, with regular expressions
- See the directory they were run in
- Interact with them in a variety of ways
Interact with your computer in a whole new way. TTYs are 1970s tech. Maybe your shell should join the 21st century.
