emoji-shell

🐚🐚🐚

emoji-shell is a shell I wrote in Rust out of my frustration with the usability of existing shells. It uses emoji for maximum ease of use and efficiency.

Building

Just run

rustc shell.rs && ./shell

I wrote emoji-shell with rustc 0.11-pre-nightly (e415c25 2014-04-07 21:21:47 -0700).

Instructions

To run commands, just type them in:

vim

Putting things in quotes is sooo exhausting, so emoji-shell uses tomatoes between things instead of spaces. Put tomatoes between command line parameters. You're probably wondering "why tomatoes?" That's a good question.

vim 🍅 cat.rs 🍅 meow.txt

Naturally, you can print the current directory with

📍

And you can change directory with a car. Don't forget to add a tomato between command line parameters and programs.

🚗 🍅 /Users/robert/Cat Photos

Notice that you don't need to escape the space in Cat Photos above...that's the magic of 🍅!

To ls, use 🔍, to exit, use ❌, and of course cat is 🐱.

Enjoy!
