Crust is an interactive Linux shell written in Python, designed with a modern interface, AI integration, and enhanced tooling for common system tasks.

# Crust had a lot of bugs, so it is archived and we are making a new shell.

## ✨ Features

- ⚙️ Custom startup hook support via `custom_commands.py`

- 🧠 AI Assistant integration using Cohere with `.question` prompt

- 🧾 Enhanced `ls`, `lsusb`, and `df -h` commands using Rich tables

- 🔧 Built-in troubleshooting interface

- 💾 Custom integration to search for packages across multiple package managers

- 📁 Git branch and repo detection in prompt

- 🪟 Venv support and styled prompt with icons

- 🧠 Neofetch context awareness for AI assistant

## 📖 Documentation

https://crust-project.github.io/crust/

Installation:

```bash

pip install crust-shell

```

If using linux, --break-system-packages may be neccesarry to make pip actually install this. If you do not want to proceed with that, use pipx (not tested).

On Arch Linux, use AUR:

```bash

yay -S crust-git

```

Or with paru:

```bash

paru -S crust-git

```
