xonsh-cheatsheet VS xonsh

Add aliases to ~/.xonshrc. Check history info. Read xonsh-cheatsheet.

Xonsh is my shell on Mac around a 4 years. Past year it has a lot of improvements and the infrastructure of extensions is grow as well as Python becomes faster.

Xonsh can't replace bash/zsh completely at this time because of subrpocess modules in Python are not pretty well developed. But for daily usge as an interactive shell xonsh is cool for Python developers, devops, data scientists and other users who can just read the documentation carefully.

I highly recommend start diving into xonsh from the awesome xonsh cheatsheet on Github - https://github.com/anki-code/xonsh-cheatsheet

xonsh – Python-powered, cross-platform, Unix-gazing shell

You need to downgrade ptk version. Look here - https://github.com/xonsh/xonsh/issues/5241#issuecomment-1961...

Friends, I'm not saying that tools like zx are not good. I do like to write some scripts using js/ts. I believe pythoners prefer https://xon.sh/ . Perl is also attractive and interesting. Fish is friendly.

However, I still believe that posix-shell has its own advantages. The balance among size, code length, and expressiveness. I think the only possible competitors are tcl and perl, maybe lua.

Those of you who use (or used) this as your shell: care to share your experience?

It seems a lot less full-featured than https://xon.sh/, but maybe you don't need a lot of bells and whistles for regular usage. I mostly run build, execute, and install commands.

I'm somewhat enticed at the possibility of being able to wrap common executables into forms that are typed (like nushell or elvish) and manipulate them in a way that leverages the type checker.

In that case, is it even more similar to xonsh?

https://xon.sh/
