(note this project is not\nassociated with suckless).\n\n## Project Meta\nThis software is in a **working alpha** state.\nThe software may not work and may have drastic changes in the future.\n\n## License\nThis code (see exception) is licensed under the MIT license. See 'LICENSE' for details. \n\nNote, the source code for [linenoise-mob](https://github.com/rain-1/linenoise-mob) is also \nincluded in this repo which is under the BSD 2-Clause \"Simplified\" License. \nSee [src/libs/linenoise/LICENSE](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mckenney5/qsh/master/src/libs/linenoise/LICENSE) \nfor more details.\n\n## Compiling and Testing\nThis program allows a couple of compiling options.\n\nThe simplest way is to compile by `make`\n\n##### Make Options:\n* `make gnu`\t\t: makes the user interface use [GNU readline](https://tiswww.case.edu/php/chet/readline/rltop.html)\n* `make tiny`\t\t: makes the UI only use fgets (aka no line editing, like sh(1))\n* `make debug`\t\t: adds debugging symbols to the program, along with verbose output\n* `make static`\t\t: statically links program (note: this should be done only with musl clib)\n* `make`\t\t: makes the UI use the [linenoise-mob library](https://github.com/rain-1/linenoise-mob)\n* `make install`\t: creats qsh with linenoise and moves qsh to the /usr/bin file and installs the manpage\n* `make uninstall`\t: deletes /usr/bin/qsh and the man file from the system\n\n##### (optional) Colors:\n* NO_COLOR (`-DNO_COLOR`)\t: disables color in the prompt **ONLY**\n\n## How to contribute\nTake a look at the ROADMAP for what still needs to get done for the next version.\n\nThen:\n1. Fork the repository\n2. Compile\n3. Test\n4. Make changes\n5. **Test again**\n6. After all of that **_then_** submit a merge/pull request\n\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmckenney5%2Fqsh","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fmckenney5%2Fqsh","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmckenney5%2Fqsh/lists"}
