Why create a new shell?
-----------------------
Bash is the best for executing shell scripts but its interactive mode is not satisfactory. I am
a zsh user for the last decade but I don't need *customizability* and got tired of making my zshrc
faster. Fish is really neat but I prefer old-fashioned, traditional, and ergonomic shell syntax.
Contributing
------------
nsh is in *alpha* stage: there are many missing features which Bash provides, there are kludges in
source code, and there must be bugs. To make nsh practical for daily use, I need your help!
### How can I contribute?
- **Report bugs** in [GitHub issues](https://github.com/nuta/nsh/issues). Please attach
a minimal reproducible example (e.g. shell script) *if possible*. It helps me to fix the bug easier.
- **Suggest enhancements** in [GitHub issues](https://github.com/nuta/nsh/issues).
- **Submit a Pull Request** which implements a new feature, fixes a bug, refactors code, rephrases sentences in documentation, etc.
