Installing

Run ./configure, make, sudo ./install -- as described in the INSTALL.txt.

Notes

• osh behaves just like /bin/bash:
  • osh -c 'echo hi'
  • osh myscript.sh
  • Or source myprog.sh within OSH.
  • etc.
• The startup file is ~/.config/oil/oshrc
  • Make an ~/.oshrc symlink if that gets annoying to type.
• Our temporary fork of the bash-completion project has some required features: /~https://github.com/oilshell/bash-completion

Useful Features for Testing

• Run osh with OSH_HIJACK_SHEBANG=/usr/local/bin/osh
• --debug-file
