RShell

Rust Shell. This is an attempt to create a simple shell in Rust, because why not.

My starting point is this article which is excellent. I will start with the final form of a shell given in the article and try to reformat it:

  • Make it more easy to extend
  • Make it a lib

I can also add basic features:

  • History
  • customizable prompt
  • Colours ?

Later, I can even make something useful out of it. For example, I could make it so that it is configurable via a config file. I could make it the default terminal via ssh for some user and make it so the terminal opens directly in a docker container, or chrooted or smthing, as a basic form of honeypot.

Done

  • A basic history system. Writes to ~/history.rshell
  • Tests for this history system

Todo

  • Add a function that gets the path of the history file, rather than copying it every time
  • Other tests for the rest of the features
  • Add a builtin history command
  • Add a builtin ! like in bash
  • Get some sleep
  • Order the file (modules...)
