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.
