Cicada is a simple, semi-toy Unix shell written in Rust. And I use it as my default login shell.
``` $ ls | head -n3 Desktop Documents Downloads
$ echo foo bar | awk -F " " '{print $2, $1}' bar foo ```
$ ls file-not-exist 2>&1 | wc > e.txt
$ cat e.txt
1 7 46
$ ls -l `which sh`
-r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 630464 Mar 23 07:57 /bin/sh
``` $ echo foo; echo bar foo bar
$ echo foo && echo bar foo bar
$ echo foo || echo bar foo ```
``` $ echo sp{el,il,al}l spell spill spall
$ echo $SHELL /usr/local/bin/cicada
$ echo * Cargo.lock Cargo.toml LICENSE Makefile README.md src target ```
$ 1 + 2 * 3 - 4
3
$ (1 + 2) * (3 - 4) / 8.0
-0.375
Note: Rust environment is needed for installation.
You can try cicada out without installing it by checking out the repository
and run cargo run in its root directory.
$ git clone https://github.com/mitnk/cicada
$ cd cicada
$ cargo run
If you've checked out the cicada repository, you can do this:
$ make install
This will install cicada under your /usr/local/bin. Use sudo if needed.
$ cargo install -f cicada
This will install cicada into ~/.cargo/bin/.
Appending /usr/local/bin/cicada into your /etc/shells, then run
$ chsh -s /usr/local/bin/cicada
