Description

Xonsh is an open-source, cross-platform shell designed for both novice and experienced users. It combines the power of Python, the flexibility of the Unix shell, and the convenience of a modern command line interface. Xonsh enables users to write and execute Python code directly in the shell, making it easier to access common shell commands and features without having to remember complex command syntax. The shell also supports auto-completion, syntax highlighting, and command history. Xonsh also provides access to a number of powerful features such as aliases, variables, and subprocesses. It supports customizing your environment through configuration files and provides a powerful syntax for writing scripts and pipelines. In addition, the shell allows users to incorporate other scripting languages, such as Bash and Zsh, into their Xonsh workflow. This provides users with the ability to create powerful cross-platform scripts that can be run on multiple operating systems.
