The Art of Command Line is a one-page guide of notes and tips on command-line use, aimed at both beginners and experienced users. It is written for Linux, with separate macOS only and Windows only sections, and focuses on interactive Bash.
Bashly is a command line application written in Ruby that generates bash command line tools from a YAML configuration describing commands, subcommands, arguments, and flags. It produces a standalone script that parses and validates user input, provides help messages, and runs per-command code kept in separate files. Optional standard library functions include color output, config file management, YAML parsing, and bash completions.
GNU Bash is the GNU Project's shell, an sh-compatible shell that incorporates features from the Korn shell and the C shell. It is intended to conform to the POSIX Shell and Tools standard and offers improvements over sh for programming and interactive use. Most sh scripts can run by Bash without modification. It includes command-line editing, job control, shell functions and aliases, and indexed arrays.
Polari is a simple IRC client designed to integrate with GNOME 3. The project is hosted on GNOME's GitLab and distributed under the GNU Library General Public License v2 only.
Xonsh is a Python-powered, cross-platform shell. Its language is a superset of Python 3 with shell functionality and commands integrated. It works on Linux, macOS, Windows, BSD, Jupyter, Android, Raspberry Pi and Nix, and includes shell primitives such as pipelines and input/output streams. Extensions called xontribs add integrations with frameworks, developer tools and themes.
Oils is a project offering OSH, which runs existing shell scripts, and YSH, intended for Python and JavaScript users who avoid shell. Both live inside the same 2 MB oils-for-unix binary. Published documentation includes a getting-started guide, a YSH tour, an Oils reference, and comparisons of YSH with shell idioms.
fish is a command line shell for Linux, macOS, BSD and Windows, described as friendly and interactive. It offers syntax highlighting, autosuggestions and tab completion with selection lists. Documentation states it is designed to be ready to use without extensive configuration, and its scripting syntax is presented as easy to learn and use.
