Hey everyone,
I started working on a small shell just for testing some stuff in the iDar ecosystem… and it kinda spiraled out of control
Meet iDar-Shell: a modular, semi-Unix-like shell for ComputerCraft with:
- Full I/O redirection (
>,>>, pipes coming soon maybe lol) - Persistent command history (up to 50 entries)
- Built-in
viclone with normal/insert/command mode - Chrooted filesystem (safe by default)
- Super easy to extend: just drop a .ptr file containing the absolute path of your program's main file into
/iDar/bin/and it becomes a command - Lightweight “.ptr” symlinks and a clean
fake_termsystem
Everything is designed to feel familiar if you like Unix shells but still works nicely inside CC.
Important: This project needs iDar-Loom capabilities (and preferably iDar-Pacman too) to work. It will not run standalone because it uses syscalls from the iDar ecosystem.

Would love to hear your thoughts or if you find any bugs. Also taking suggestions for new builtin programs!
Cheers!
