I.e.\na single, preferably small executable which bundles all important shell tools.\nA swiss army knife for the command line, if you will.\nIt is being developed with a focus on [Amazon EC2](http://aws.amazon.com) or as\na small footprint basis for an [OpenVZ](http://www.openvz.org) template.\n\nIn order to keep the source code and executable small, I have cut a lot of options\nyou might be used to from [GNU Coreutils](http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/) or\nsimilar. I might even have less options than BusyBox itself. I certainly have\nfewer applets right now, and probably ever will. But I consider that a good thing.\n\nPitfalls\n--------\n- The shell is *not* a bash, sh or zsh. It is something original, written by me and\n  is fairly limited. It does the job of acting as a shell, it‘s hardly adequate for\n  scripting, though.\n- Telnetd has no authentication mechanism right now. It’s noting more than a\n  network-capable pipe.\n\nInstallation\n------------\n\nGoBox is now `go get`-able.\n\nDeveloping applets\n------------------\n- Copy `applets/template` and name the copy like your applet\n- Rename `template.go` and edit its contents to fit your applet\n- Add your applet to `cmd/gobox/applets.go`\n\nThe template provides the basic framework you should stick to.\n\nWhy is there not real shell?\n----------------------------\nI got this question a lot and I have 2 main reasons:\n\n- I seriously did not want to implement the broken and god-awful syntax of bash\n  or any other currently used shell!\n- You have Go. Do you need anything *more* lightweight? The philosohpy behind this\n  project is that it is cheap to (re)build and deploy. You don’t really use\n  scripting anymore. If you need to automate some process, write an applet in Go and\n  integrate it with GoBox and push it.\n\nBugs\n----\nProbably\n\nContact\n-------\nIf you have ideas for missing applets, found a bug or have a suggestion, use\nthis [project’s issues](https://github.com/asdf-systems/gobox/issues).\nIf you want to participate, just fork and code away.
