Creating a Release

To create a downloadable release:

1. Local Build (optional):

   ./build-release.sh

2. GitHub Release:

   git add .
   git commit -m "Release version x.x.x"
   git tag v1.0.0
   git push origin main --tags

3. Automated Build: GitHub Actions will automatically:

   • Build binaries for macOS, Linux, and Windows
   • Create a GitHub release
   • Upload binaries as release assets

Release Assets

Each release includes binaries for multiple platforms and architectures:

macOS:

• shell-t-macos-x64 - Intel (x86_64)
• shell-t-macos-arm64 - Apple Silicon (ARM64)

Linux:

• shell-t-linux-x64-gnu - GNU libc (x86_64)
• shell-t-linux-arm64-gnu - GNU libc (ARM64)
• shell-t-linux-x64-musl - musl libc (x86_64, static)
• shell-t-linux-arm64-musl - musl libc (ARM64, static)

Windows:

• shell-t-windows-x64-msvc.exe - MSVC (x86_64)

• shell-t-windows-x64-gnu.exe - GNU (x86_64)

Usage

# Start the shell
./target/release/shell-t

# Basic commands
pwd                    # Print working directory
cd <directory>         # Change directory
ls                     # List files
exit                   # Exit shell

# Multi-language execution
./script.py           # Run Python script
./script.rb           # Run Ruby script
./script.js           # Run JavaScript file


# Pipelines and redirection
ls | grep txt         # Pipeline
echo "hello" > file.txt  # Output redirection
