# repl
> an instant REPL for any command
## Features
- Command history (cycle with arrow keys)
- Reverse-search using `Ctrl+R`
- It's epic
## Requirements
- `bash`
- `rlwrap` (optional, needed for history)
## Installation
Assuming `$HOME/bin` is in your `$PATH`,
```console
curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/icyphox/repl/master/repl -o $HOME/bin/repl
chmod +x $HOME/bin/repl
```
## Usage
It's simple, just `repl `:
```console
$ repl git
git% branch
* master
git% remote -v
origin [email protected]:icyphox/asdf (fetch)
origin [email protected]:icyphox/asdf (push)
```
Or, pipe it to STDIN — `repl --stdin `:
```console
$ repl --stdin cat
cat%
yeet
cat% fortnite bad, mc good
fornite bad, mc good
```
Reverse-search by hitting `Ctrl+R`:
```console
$ repl pip3
(reverse-i-search)`li': list
```
And here's `repl` for `ed(1)` :)
```console
$ repl --stdin ed
ed% what
?
ed% am
?
ed% i
ed% doing
?
```
