Python-powered cross-platform shell
TLDR
Start xonsh
SYNOPSIS
xonsh [-c command] [-i] [options] [file]
DESCRIPTION
xonsh is a cross-platform shell that combines the capabilities of Python with the familiarity of traditional Unix shells. It allows users to seamlessly mix Python expressions and standard shell commands in the same session, using Python syntax as the primary language while supporting conventional shell operations.
The shell provides context-aware tab completion, syntax highlighting, and a customizable prompt. Shell commands run natively, and Python code can be used anywhere for variable manipulation, control flow, and data processing. Scripts use the .xsh extension and can contain both Python and shell syntax.
xonsh runs on any platform where Python is available, making it a portable choice for users who want Python's expressiveness integrated directly into their shell workflow.
