Just a little screen recording of what we can expect would be awesome

Re: Rsh: Ruby SHell
#32I think this is not a general shell like bash or csh, more of a custom REPL for some specific set of commands. A critical feature of every other shell is how they handle pipes, and this one doesn't seem to have gotten that far yet.
Perhaps it would have been better to wrap the limited shell functionalities in in gem instead, and run that inside `irb`. Currently the majority of the lines appears to be reimplementing a REPL, but those would come for free with `irb`.

Nope. It handles pipes and everything else as it shells out on system()

That's an excellent request. Thanks. Will do.

#35Need windows version. Windows Terminal is the worst thing in the world.
Windows Terminal is just a "terminal emulator", if you can, try [pwsh7](https://github.com/PowerShell/powershell/releases)

#36(slight ot, sorry!) This brings back great memories of one of the best assignment from my college time: We had an "Agile web development" course (~2007) with a precursory Ruby 101 workshop as well as a pre-course assignment to "create a shell in Ruby". It was such a joy to hack on this and learn that way. It was clearly wayyy too vast of a task to ever _complete_ it, but I learned so much Ruby there and couldn't stop…
Sat in that same course. Nice to see Bremen people here
:D Great! What are you up to nowadays?

But the outputs of those system() calls aren't accessible to rsh, unlike other shells where I might be able to do VARIABLE=$(command). I was looking for something more like IO.popen() and rsh does not seem to have those.

Not sure if you've come across asciinema [1] before. I haven't used it myself,
but it seems pretty popular for this kind of screen recording.
