Hotwire Shell

Project description

Hotwire is a Python-based object oriented crossplatform command execution shell.

Hotwire is not a terminal emulator, nor is it something you can set as your Unix “login shell”; instead, Hotwire unifies the concepts of shell and terminal and can natively do about 80-90% of what one would normally do in a terminal+shell; for the rest, Hotwire can embed VTE. See HotwireVsBinSh for more.

Hotwire’s object-oriented nature is influenced by Windows PowerShell; see HotwireVsPowerShell.

Practically speaking, Hotwire provides a modern command interface for developers and system administrators to interact with the computer.

Hotwire is Free Software and runs on Linux (with GNOME) and Windows (HotwireWindows)
