Re: Show HN: Grsh – A high-performance shell for FreeBSD written in Rust
#12I'm seeing some great technical questions about process lifecycles and Rust invariants. To clarify: regarding job control, when a process is recalled, it currently rejoins the foreground process group. I'm leveraging Rust's ownership model to ensure FDs are closed properly, but I'm still refining the signal semantics for SIGTSTP.

#14Could you explain the purpose of mkcd?

It’s a shortcut
Its purpose is to combine mkdir -p and cd into a single atomic-like action. Instead of typing: mkdir -p my_project && cd my_project
You simply run: mkcd my_project
It's designed to reduce friction during development, especially when you're frequently creating new nested directory structures.

Not the author, but my first guess is to create a folder and cd into it with just one command instead of 2 with the said argument, isn't it ?

Exactly. It's a small quality-of-life feature to avoid the repetitive mkdir && cd sequence. In GRSH, it also ensures the directory is created with the necessary permissions before the shell attempts to switch into it.

I love the concept, very good yet simple idea ! I'll steal it for my aliases.

#19Could you implement a feature that makes it possible to cd into a compressed archive as though it were a normal directory?

Go ahead and 'steal' away! That’s the beauty of open source.
I actually built it into the shell precisely because I was tired of managing those aliases across different machines. Glad you found it useful!
