Frequently Asked Questions

Is Hilbish POSIX compliant?#

No. It runs shell script. That is the extent of it.

Why?#

Hilbish emerged from the desire of a Lua configured shell. It was the initial reason that it was created, but now it's more: to be hyper extensible, simpler and more user friendly.

Does it have "autocompletion" or "tab completion"?#

Of course! This is a modern shell. Hilbish provides a way for users to write tab completion for any command and/or the whole shell. Inline hinting and syntax highlighting are also available.
